Walk on a bed of hot coals

“With regards to the actual firewalk. You line up and when its your turn you stand in front of the coals and look at the organiser stood on the other side of them. You are meant to shout something to get you moving then a 'mantra' as you walk across the coals. I did that the first time I did the walk but its not necessary. I didn't bother on the second and third times I did it. Then you take a step forward and and put your bare foot on the coals and you keep going. You can tell its hot but its not overly painful. Its like walking on hot sand on the beach. You keep going. In a couple of seconds at most its all over and you are back to standing on wet grass in your bare feet.”

“As I stood in front of the bed of hot coals with bright orange embers flickering through the cracks, my feet suddenly felt like the smallest, most precious little things to have ever touched the earth. [...] To the cheer of women dressed in colourful dresses and outfits they felt most “fabulous” in, accompanied by the earthy pulses of drums that made me feel as though I was in a scene from Game of Thrones, I stepped on to the coals. Miraculously, I made it out the other end, burn-free. The experience felt so thrilling, I did it three more times.”
