How far does your attention extend?

One of the amazing things about my meditation practice is that it continously clues me in to what I'm paying attention to and how deeply I can place my attention. A great activity that lets you remember that the mind has no boundaries is to get quiet, sit in a meditative position with upright posture, and simply let your attention focus on the sounds around you. See how far out you can go--from the sounds right in your room to sounds outside to the ambient noise around you. Once you get past the more immediate sounds, it becomes easier and easier to discern the ones that are not immediately obvious. Do this for about five minutes.
