Ya'ateeh from the Navajo Nation! I like walking meditation - so many times we walk and do not appreciate being outside. It's become a foreign place and we don't appreciate all the good in trees and the life we have on our Mother, the Earth. Keep walking! :)

Since I almost always hike on my own as a way to alleviate my depression and bi-polar, Tosogyo and Tokogatame are things that I have kind of been doing without thinking.

I walk in silence (unless I know there are boar about or need to leave a trail quickly) and try to observe everything around me. Then at some point I will stop and just sit quietly for a while.

What I am missing are the mantras and sutras but those I will eventually learn when I finally get initiated in Katsuragi Shugen, hopefully next year.

I like the last one. I'm living in Tokyo doing a job I don't really enjoy at the moment. But I'll get through it. The future is bright.
I'd love to do a walk with you sometime.

I think that all these concepts will help in my life. I'm very happy because I'm going to do the Yamabushi training.

Thank you so much for this wonderful channel. My intention is to delve deeper into the knowledge of Shugendo. A million thanks!! 🙏❤️🙏🌸🌸

Hanna Shingyo is something I've done, there is a Buddhist monk who has a youtube channel and although a little eccentric, it still teaches the way of the Buddha in a modern format. Tosogyo is something I like to practice more of, since short hiking is what I do. I hope to do some Tsosgyo with you when I come visit soon.

thank you for the share - i came across your stuff on a psyche article; amazing to hear something perhaps more (nicely) hardcore the stoicism a budget Hannya Shingyo hack for the viewer: put yourself underneath a cold shower for a few minutes. This may help with resilience, as it's done so for me ✌️

Amazing!
I learned a lot about Yamabushi and how we should live in this world.
Thank you so much for this video.
You’re amazing Tim!

Super interesting video.
Thanks for sharing the it.
I walk in nature when I have a chance, and once in a while I run in it, swim in lakes etc.
I know it isn't shugendo training but being in nature has always felt meaningful and nice.
It's some kind of reconnecting thing. I can't explain it though... just feels good.
