Firewalking

Firewalking has been practiced for centuries, even millennia, in many cultures around the world, what people often don't realize is that firewalking is alive and well today , with more people practicing it each year than at possibly any other time in history! Many have found it to be a profoundly moving, spiritual & healing experience.

Firewalking has roots in many ancient cultures and most probably dates back to before recorded history. There is evidence of firewalking, during various historical eras, in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burma, China, Egypt, Fiji, Greece, Haiti, Hawaii, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tibet, Trinidad, and South Africa.

The modern firewalking movement began in the United States in 1979 when Tolly Burkan & Peggy Dylan added the practice to the public seminars on human potential they had been presenting for several years. After firewalking themselves, and finding no definitive published research on how it was possible or how it worked, Both Peggy & Tolly began a lifelong journey to experience, teach and promote the practice in the us and around the world, Presently over three million people have walked on fire unharmed, and the practice is now found in some unlikely places: from spiritual growth seminars to corporate power retreats

Firewalking, simply put, is the practice of walking barefoot across a bed of hot coals. The bed is commonly between ten and twenty feet in length, depending on who is conducting the walk. The process starts with what could be described as a small bonfire of medium wood. The wood burns down for about three hours before the coals are raked into a bed and tamped down to make a solid walking surface. Participants walk across the bed, there is significant ritual associated with preparing the site, building the fire, preparing the participants and doing the actual walking. The experience of firewalking is as individual as the person doing the walking. But, there are some common threads that run through people's experience, and they are often rooted in a decidedly spiritual experience. Taking that first step onto red hot coals is an exercise in facing fear if there ever was one, and this is, in fact, one of the primary goals of the practice. When we break through limiting beliefs and fears, it gives us the empowerment, to dream a bigger dream, and start to realise what else is possible.
