Firewalking

[GenoNess1@...]

Wow, Bev! I totally resonate with this story. I love it! I shall share my
story...it may not be overtly as profound as yours...but to me it was
awe-inspiring...
I was camping with some buddies...actually only one of which i knew very well
and was close with...we were at the beach, and one day we went to the ocean
(Pacific [it was Stinson beach actually if anyone is interested]) and it was
the first time i had been to the ocean and actually on the beach in ages...well
a few years at least but to me, taking this whole spirtual awakening i am
currently in, it was ages. Anyways when we were at the beach...and i got in the
water...i had an incredible experience in which i really connected with the
primordial origin-energy of the ocean...i was in the the spirit of the ONE
being...as the waves washed over me i felt NO separation...it was divine...and
by the
time my friends left the beach to go back to the campsite, i was hypnotized
by the beauty of the ocean...the sky...the horizon...the feeling of
completeness...i stood there watching the sunset for aobut 2 and a half
hours...my
friends had no idea what i was doing...actually i got pretty badly sunburnt.
when i
got back to the campsite i jsut got looks of confusion when i told them i was
just watching the ocean....it was great ;-)!!! Anyways i had a whole new
perception that whole day...i felt so good...and that night we were sitting
aorund
the fire...and it started dying down and suddenly i just felt this urge...and
i walked across the hot coals...and it didnt hurt at all...in fact i didnt
even rush myself, i took pleasure in the security of the moment...i did it
several times and like you i ended up with about a quarter size blister on one
foot...the other foot was untouched...it was amazing...everyone at the site was
amazed as well! it was such an experience...anyways...

The contrast of the hot coals and the cold wind and wet grass was very
energizing. I must tell you I made quite a few circles around the coals until I
felt ready, almost coming close to tears a couple of times as I contemplated
making the walk.
This is so very beautiful to me...thank youfor sharing your story! Love, me!

Dear asc2k friends:

Last Friday night I hosted a firewalk on our farm for the second time in the
past year. It was a group of eight people, four of whom actually walked. The
wood we used was from a huge ash tree that had been struck by lightening and had
to be cut down and removed because it was too close to a house.

Prior to the firewalk, our instructor had us complete a worksheet called
"REALITY MANAGEMENT" where we picked a particular issue we each had which we
would intend to release as we did the walk. Basically, we identified our issue
and took responsibility for our own reality, then chose love and forgiveness and
healing. Patrick explained that we have stored deep issues/memories in the
back of our brain, similar to a computer program, which we could erase/delete
from the transmutational aspect of the firewalk.

Once the wood had burned down to red hot coals, they were spread in a 4 x 10
path which we danced and drummed around until we felt ready to walk. It had
rained off and on all that day, but had stopped for the evening. The wind was
pretty brisk and the grass was wet and cold. The contrast of the hot coals and
the cold wind and wet grass was very energizing. I must tell you I made quite a
few circles around the coals until I felt ready, almost coming close to tears a
couple of times as I contemplated making the walk.

And it was just as Patrick had explained it: when you KNEW when you were ready,
you stand at one end of the coals, raise a hand and focus on the other side and
WALK there without losing focus on your destination. Oh my gosh, were those
coals HOT! That cold wet grass sure felt good when I got to the other side, but
my feet didn't feel burned. It felt like I had big pads on the bottom of my
feet for awhile.

I did end up with a quarter-sized blister in the middle of my left foot that was
uncomfortable for about a day, but never really hurt. Also, I have been
experiencing a slight headache at the base of my skull where it connects to my
neck. But what I am very excited about is that every night in my dreams since
then I have been experiencing being with different people from my past releasing
unpleasant memories. In general, I have been feeling greatly uplifted in my
day-to-day activities and am very thankful for experience.

I don't advocate everybody doing a firewalk for whatever "ails you," but it is a
powerful transformational tool which is something you might consider. Make no
mistake about it, it will give your system a rocket-boost of light/energy to
move you to the next level in your journey towards enlightenment.

Healing Love,
Bev
