Fire-walking is the act of walking barefoot over a bed of hot coals. This feat appears to defy the laws of nature—one would expect to burn one's feet—but according to physicists it is perfectly explainable by application of natural laws; the supernatural is not involved nor need be posited in explanation. This is ipso facto substantiated by the fact that anyone can perform firewalking without any 'mind over matter' preparation.
Application
Fire-walking is practised
- by fakirs and similar persons,
- in management seminars and motivational seminars, such as those conducted by Anthony Robbins, Alan Lowis, Peggy Dylan, Tomorrow's Youth etc.
- by Eastern Orthodox Christians in Greece and Bulgaria during some popular religious feasts. The African-born Hindus walk on fire regularly as part of important religious festivals and !Kung Bushmen of the Kalahari desert have firewalked since their tribal beginnings. The !Kung use fire in their powerful healing ceremonies.
- by Japanese Taoists and Buddhists
- as a rite of purification, healing, initiation and transcendence, which have been threads in the cultural tapestry of our planet.
