Fan Noise Meditation

As I sat in my room, waiting for Windows to update itself, my attention turns to the fan noise.

So in the beginning, I hear an oscillating whirl, wavering between high frequency and low frequency.

But as I slowly focus myself on the high frequency, the tone becomes more and more of the high frequency.

And as I decide to hear nothing, it slowly tunes out of my hearing and I hear nothing at all.

To be continued........

It's like what the zen masters call "taming the monkey" or "stilling the candle", when they talk about the tendency for a mind to wonder.

I call it calming the fan.
