Do do do -The Yamabushi Way

Yamabushi training is all about doing first. Do, do, do.

Being thrown in the deep end.

Jumping in head first.

Getting your hands dirty.

These are your priorities.

This way, your expectations don’t get put in front of your experience. You have no time for expectations. In other words, you get to experience the experience for the experience.

Of course there are times when this isn’t appropriate, for those times necessary things are explained beforehand.

But for the most part, it’s all do do do right off the bat.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi, I’m Tim Bunting AKA the Kiwi Yamabushi, a New Zealander who became a Yamabushi Ascetic in the Dewa Sanzan mountains of north Japan. I’m part of the Yamabushido team, and we host life-altering Yamabushi training on the Dewa Sanzan (website link). People come to us for the ultimate mindfulness experience, to reach the next level, or simply connect with nature and themselves.

I’m on a mission to summit all 100 Famous Mountains of Yamagata Prefecture to spread the splendour of this fabulous location, and in dedication to all those who lost their lives out in nature, including my father.

On my daily blog I post thoughts of a practicing Yamabushi that I hope people can use to better themselves and live as fulfilling a life as possible.

Sign up to the weekly Mountains of Wisdom newsletter, follow me on social (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, Clubhouse, all @kiwiyamabushi), or send me an email via the link below to stay in touch.

Tim.
