Why 5 rest days at the end of the cycle in the recommended schedule?

What led to that decision?
Is there a special reason why it’s 5 days in a row at the end?

I’m experimenting with the number of rest days, so I want to know what variables to keep an eye on.

The schedule I'm trying now if you're interested.

I usually feel like some overexposure symptoms are arising after ~18 days and after 21 days I usually don’t feel fine until after 3 days. And on the last 2 days of washout I usually get the most bloom. I never tried longer washouts

I think @Jouissance once said that ZP schedule should be 15-18 listening days, not 21

I also feel the same, i have been trying 17 listening days for a few cycles and it feels better than 21.

the overexposure symptoms & small hidden recons are most noticeable near the end of the 21 listening day cycle. but after reading my journal and some introspection, although unnoticeable at first, i realized that it is building up even before the 19th day.

so I’m going to try and take out 1 listening day in the middle of the cycle (the 9th day in my schedule) and see if that does something.

I want to know why 5 days in a row was chosen for the normal schedule to better gauge the difference.

You can always add more rest days, but taking one out isn’t recommended. I’m a bit confused why you’d do that if you’re trying to prevent overexposure. Going down in exposure is always alright, going up isn’t. In some people – like myself – less exposure gives better results, as well as consistent results. That’s why washouts are necessary – it gives the scripting time to integrate a bit.

i think i made it confusing by adding my personal experiment & circumstances on top of the question.
i intended it to be a personal context but i accidentally focused on that instead.

so, on top of resolving overexposure, the minimum of 5 days at the end of the cycle was chosen because it gives the best result for the scripting to integrate with us, right? i didn’t think about it before.
thanks saint!

i’m still interested in trying out this schedule too. i will maybe try 15 listening days and 5 rest days in the future and compare the difference.

Let us know how it will work out

You can always experiment on them and compare the results later. Some titles resonate well and some takes time.

Wanted Black, TTh schedule - I can see results right away. At 21 days I give it a rest for 5 days because I worried about the attraction. So I stick to Thursday-only schedule, after another 21 days I park it to see if it still works. This title is a badass - 1-2 months is a good exposure.

Multistage is quite a different level. I am at a month long washout for DR multistage, next year I will start another round. I carefully tread on the experienced as most of them are unique, it took me to a higher level. My approach was when I have an emotion/s while taking time with those rest days I observed those energies but don’t give out much attention to them.

The right-now expectation will drag you to frustration, cause maybe the residual emotions are still there. It is best just listen-and-forget, don’t over expose - have a calendar or a spreadsheet as a tool to map out your strategy.

Does anyone skip washout?

Or do less washout days?

I feel like listening to my new stack after only 2 days of washout.

My washout before this previous stack was 3 weeks and I resumed the same subs I’ve been listening to long term.

I did a 3 day washout this time. Had a migraine in the evening on the last day.
The day after i listened to my custom sub the migraine was gone

I did a 2 week washout after using WB + KB 2, felt way better and lots of clarity about what I actually like as far a subliminal club goes. Less is more in my book, I guess everyone is different in terms of listening times and washout days.

Because I know very specifically what my goals are in the short term, I wanted to get started on TS and SB again asap! I’m only on day 2 of washout from Seductress, LB & TWTP.

I’m co leading an 8 week course in under 3 weeks and need to get as many people signed up as possible! Crunch time.

I’ve done 3 week washouts before and felt amazing.

I even stopped for a few months at one point.

Do you still feel the reminiscence of SD,LB,TWTP?

Yup, I think it’s important just for are mental health to do a good long washout.

Just keep in mind more exposure doesn’t equal more results. More action equals more results.

I am on weekly based washouts.

1-2 titels per week, then 1 week washout, sometimes even longer.

For me that’s the best results i had until now.
