Internalization

It's not what you believe or what you know that's important – it's what you are.

John Kells

Internalization is the process of converting what you believe and know into what you are. A technique or principle has become internalized when it bites into every part of you and expresses in every action you make. The only way is through endless repetition – practice, practice, practice. It is what we mean by “becoming”. Eventually, after decades of practising internalization – after years of becoming, each and every experience is internalized as it is lived. Nothing washes off you: everything washes through you, transforming as it goes. This is yielding.
