<upd_detl>Afaict, 心を無にする means something like "to brush away idle thoughts". It doesn't contradict 
this entry, which is supported by several references.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I agree that the current sense is supported by several sources, 
but this usage it's different from the 心を無にする where "無に
する" clearly doesn't mean "to waste" (e.g. daijs: 価値・意義を
失わせる。むだにする。). 心を無にする doesn't mean "to waste one's 
heart". "頭を無にする" is a similar (not as common) construct</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Every dictionary I can find uses 人の好意を無にする as the example and the 5 examples in the above link are in similar lines.
Maybe these are not the best glosses available?</upd_detl>
