NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF ONE GOOD IDEA. The mind stretched by a new idea never returns to it original shape and form. One good idea can change your life.
"Why??" is an excellent question!!
Certainly there is no practical application for the challenges you will face during a
firewalking session- walking on hot coals won't help get you a job in most industries!
Firewalking is just an action, it does not have meaning by itself. In fact, it has no
practical value in and by itself.
The biggest unspoken secret of Firewalking is that it is NOT about the act of walking on coals. The firewalk is metaphorical in nature and can lead us to a new understanding of ourselves. Just as marriage, graduation, your first driver's test or your first kiss can be significant life events or new chapters on our journey of life, so can firewalking.
The fire walk is a dramatic demonstration of that power within us. It's powerful, because the firewalk IS dramatic. The mechanism in our brain that successfully gets you across the bed of coals is the same mechanism that gets you to the office and back.It's just that we take the trip to the office for granted and the fire gets our attention. That's what makes it a good metaphor, or example, of overcoming any obstacle, any fear. (Frankly, if you can walk to the kitchen and get something out of the fridge without getting lost, you have the capacity to walk on fire.)
Very often we run through our daily lives, not paying attention to the little things around us and inside us, looking squarely at our obstacles rather than clearly focusing on our goals, and accepting what we percieve to be our own limitations- limitations which are almost always self imposed!
Firewalking is all about examining a challenge, facing the challenge, and being successful at things we may not have believed possible. It is about using the power of intention, turning fear into energy, and, above all, listening to that little "inner voice" that really knows best.
Courage does not occur on it's own. It is a response to fear. By meeting our fears first hand we come face to face with our limitations. In fact, our fears, both big or small will stop us every time.
When fears pop up you have identified a limiting belief. Meeting these fears with courage is the fastest course for personal growth and empowerment. Once a person walks the fire, it can be a valuable resource experience. "If I did this, than other things can I do that I have been afraid to attempt?".
It then becomes a significant life experience to reflect on and gives rise to possibly greater things.
Are you holding back doing thing that you know you must do?
Are you plagued with recurring bouts of worry and stress over life?
Do you ever feel powerless?
Do you experience fear at doing new things?
Do you ever "hold back" or have feelings that you're not enough?
Do you experience a regular bouts of illness, or have the belief that you always get sick in the winter, when it's raining, or Mondays are bad days?
Do you ever experience self doubt? Does it hold you back?
Do you feel you have beliefs that limit you?
Then Firewalking is waiting for you...
