Just sit - tacit knowledge


Nobody can hand you stillness. You can read every book on meditation, watch every tutorial, take every course -- and still miss the point entirely. Tacit knowledge lives below words. It transfers only through repetition, through failure, through showing up again anyway. A master craftsman doesn't think about his hands. A seasoned meditator doesn't think about breathing.

At some point -- nobody can tell you when -- something shifts.
Not in your mind. In you.

Tacit knowledge (noun)
