I have been practicing being mindful of the feeling tone “vedana” of experience. I was noticing my refrigerator sound and saw that it was a neutral sense. This was a breakthrough for me because I hadn’t been sensitive to neutral tones. I am becoming more sensitive to this and see there are a lot of neutral experiences.
I have lately been trying to note the degree of feeling about each tone. e.g. “slightly unpleasant”, “greatly pleasant”. If the tone is more neutral but still a little pleasant or unpleasant, I will note it as “slightly neutral”.
I think that’s a funny term: “slightly neutral.” Is there such a thing??? 🙂
