The Nature in Our Nature

Nature is in our nature. It’s natural for us to want to be in nature. Nature is where we are nurtured.

But sometimes we forget that.

Sometimes we get stuck in our heads, which is quite possibly the furthest thing from nature.

But by getting out in nature, and staying there, we can learn what it means to Uketamo again, and we can restore our heads to our true nature. We can make being in our heads, being in nature.

But the only way to do that, is to be in nature.

It’s in our nature.

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.
