    This sounds like how I first learned how to meditate!

    Like I expanded into a big noisy loud "BAAAH" rotor-fan-sphere
    that extinguished every thought that would come across it. :)

    It actually felt like I was actively moving my sense of
    "self/awareness" "into" any thought that would arise,
    which blanked them out.

    Later, I heard a theory that thoughts can only be observed
    when we withdraw awareness from them. That idea synced well
    with my experiences--that expanding awareness blanked
    them out.

    The way I do it now is merely to summon the actual
    remembered feeling of focused mind, which to me is alot
    about being aware in the whole physical body rather than
    only the head.

    Kindly,
    Severian
