RE: ex-alcoholics -- mind over matter - fire walkers

Walking the fire walk: A test of faith" - nope any one can do it.

"Walking the fire walk: A test of faith" suggests that fire walking can be done because of faith, spritual exercises, and meditation.

Thats not true. Fire walking across hot wooden coals is possible because of the laws of physics. Not because of faith, spritual exercises, or meditation. Anybody can fire walk on hot coals. The physics is that wooden coals are very poor conducters of heat. When walked on the coals transfer the heat very slowly and if you walk quicky your feet wont be burned. A good real world example is in the kitchen after you have baked some chocolate chip cookies in the oven on a metal pan.

The cookies and metal pan are both at the same tempature when removed from the oven.

You can touch the cookies and even eat them with out getting burned as most of us have done. Again because the cookie dough is a very poor conductor of heat, just like wooden coals.

On the other hand the metal pan which is at the same tempature as the cookies is a very good conductor of heat and if you touch it you will get a nasty burn. again because metal is a good conductor of heat and transfers the heat very quickly to your skin.

But regardless of how much faith, spritual exercises, or meditation you have don't try walking across a hot metal grill. Your feet will be burnt just like a hamburger because the metal tranfers the heat very quickly to you feet.

Me too. I have fibromyalgia and as a result feel pain more intensely than a normal person. That is why I would like to know how I could learn how to do this. I don't think it is intuitive. There must be some techniques.
