FIREWALKING

Impossible, right? Walking on fire is. That is what we have built from experiences, when we burn ourselves playing with the lighter or when we bring our hand closer to a campfire. However, if' everything is in the mind', wouldn't the feeling of the pain of a burn also be?


I thought it wasn't possible, walking on fire was physically impossible; it's rational, isn't it? The fire burns. As I have said in previous publications, the power of the mind should not be underestimated, for it can lead you from the purest state of fear to a moment of pure ecstasy of courage and power.




That night I walked on fire, after having passed through other scenarios in which I started to appreciate, understand and accept all the power that exists in a change of mentality -and, therefore, in my mind, I was facing a fear is merely logical: Walking on fire (Or coals burning, to be more specific) = Blisters and severe skin burns. In front of the embers the heat was overwhelming, I was sweating more and more cold, until it was time to cross that mat with color to heat, the first step was to take momentum, a big breath of air and hope for the best - the first step to get to where we want in all cases, right? -.


Walking on fire goes beyond the fact of doing it, it is a moment of high impact that allows to go further, to understand that the mind has a power that can go further than we believe, that achieves what sometimes seems impossible, from overcoming and going beyond problems to leaving the dangerous comfort zone.




When I finished passing that heat mat, which before I started looked so intimidating, I could realize that I could keep walking, that on my feet there were no blisters and that I had passed through a carpet of fire as if I had been walking on the sand of the beach. My mind did not deceive me, the heat was real, however, I did not burn. What had gone through my mind at the time? Every step I took - and I took exactly 6 steps-made me understand that if I could walk on fire, I am able to face and overcome even greater challenges.


Beyond the fact of walking on fire, to do so is to demonstrate to the mind and body that there are infinite possibilities and capabilities, which are only limited to what we want to limit. If you walk on fire, you are able to solve problems, you are in the ability to solve complicated situations, to launch yourself to seek and achieve your projects, to take risks and succeed. Walking on fire is reconnecting with all your inner power.
