Firewalking as a Spiritual Practice

Firewalking as a Spiritual Practice

Firewalking is an ancient form of ritual ceremony to honor the relationship between the element of fire and humans. It has been used by many cultures around the globe for initiations, rites of passage, feats of strength to name a few.  Today firewalking is used to help elevate spiritual practice, build self-esteem, overcome obstacles, and help to transform fears. This creates an opportunity to step into one’s own power with grace and ease. Firewalking is a tool that allows us to face fears and insecurities that in turn helps overcome challenges we have in life.  It is astonishing to witness people move past their fears and begin to realize and rediscover the power of fire they hold within. Fire is a powerful symbol of what is possible when we make a conscious choice toward our own transformation and growth, unlocking infinite life possibilities.

During the firewalk, we are not actually walking on fire; we are walking on the coals, and we do this with our bare feet. This sounds scarier than what it is, and there is a process that happens to allow this. There are exercises to align with the inner and outer fire mentally, physically, and spiritually. It could be through prayers, singing, drumming, or movement. Each fire walk is different depending on the theme or the intention that is set by the group or facilitator. Once we have connected to the Spirit of Fire, we WALK! The beauty of all of this is that a container is created allowing those who consciously make the choice to walk or not, a sacred space free of judgment, a place to be witnessed and seen for the divine souls they are.

I believe that when we step into our fears and release what is not true, that is when we begin to live! That is when our Divine Self steps forward, shows up, and our purpose here begins which is bringing our medicine to the world.

The Firewalk Facilitator Training is for anyone who feels guided to help others begin their own journey and relationship to the fire. Opening a sacred space for people to walk through the gateway, allowing the alchemy of transformation to shift our consciousness.  It is an intense 5-day program that will take one through several initiations via zoom.

Leading people through the firewalk process helps them discover courage, faith, and strength. Are you ready to walk?
