Why
Firewalk?
People
who attend a fire walk do so for various reasons, and there are as many
ways to prepare yourself for firewalking as there are teachers. At
Wizard Wellbeing, we use
the firewalk as a tool to break through illusions. In our workshops
Then
we ask ourselves - If firewalking is possible, then what else?
Why would you want to stand
barefoot before a
path of glowing hot embers and choose
to step forward? Why why would you take that risk for a few seemingly
impossible steps?
At
least one answer
lies in the nature of fire itself. There are few beliefs more deeply
ingrained
in the human experience than the one that says that ‘fire
burns’. Each of us in our
own lives has proven it time and time again. Fire burns, beyond doubt.
And yet...
And
yet for thousands
of years people have practiced walking and dancing barefoot on hot
coals, and
for the most part, without burning.
If
you can alter a
universal law and render fire harmless- then what is that saying about
reality
and your role in its creation? What are your limitations, really? What
other
possibilities remain untapped, unrealised?
Another
reason why people firewalk has to
do with the nature of fear. In your training, you will learn to welcome
feelings of fear
and anxiety. It is in the awareness and acceptance
of such feelings that our potential is so often
brought into expression.
When
you learn to dance with the fire in the presence of fear, you learn to
deal successfully
with fear whenever it arises, so learning to
transform fearful situations as opportunities for growth, and to
transform fear
itself into a powerful ally.
Our
experiments, research and experiences with firewalking
have led us to the fact that there are only two things required to
successfully walk across the fire. Two things that all firewalkers
throughout history have in common. First, you have to want to do it.
This assumes a certain curiosity -
which is what may have brought you to this page. Sounds
simple doesn't it? It is. Do
you want to walk on fire?
Second, you will need a firm belief in your body's safety. It doesn't
matter how you get there, so long as when you step up to the fire, you
know beyond a doubt that it is safe for you to walk across. Whatever
has brought you to the firewalk, and whatever your intent; this is
what a Wizard Firewalk seminar will give you.
