Fire Walk

Yep - I walked on hot, fiery coals.  Go ME!

I was nervous, shaking like a leaf on a tree.  Everyone is slow clapping, chanting YES.  Drums are pounding in the background - slow and powerful.  It's hot.  Texas heat with fire heat burning at your face.  Smokey and dark ... just the coals glowing.  You are told STEP UP.  Then you walk.

6 steps across, looking up, staying in STATE.  Volunteers grab you at the end and spray your feet while you wipe on wet grass.

Then my partner walked.  18 year old kid.  Did fantastic too.  We celebrated, high-fived, hugged and headed for ac inside to wait for the rest of our group.

It was an amazing experience.  Powerful, emotional, exciting.

But there was a downside and I almost hate to write about it.  Dozens of people had very bad burns, 5 with 3rd degree burns.  Ambulances, people crying.  TR media release actually lied about it - lied because I witnessed something different with my own eyes.  Tony Robbins was angry and offensive when he addressed what happened.  My Tony (the man) bubble burst.  Own your shit.  As Tony says - if you lie about THIS, what else will you lie about.

I feel lucky that I had no burns.  I feel lucky I had a powerful experience.  I feel lucky it was everything I'd hoped it to be.  I'll NEVER do it again.  I'll NEVER recommend it to anyone.  And the bubble will stay burst.

I love the message TR gives.  I love his programs.  I'm disappointed in how he handled himself.

But I walked on fire!
