Believe it or Not…I’m Walking on Fire

Ronda Bowen,
Read all about my awesome firewalking experience.

Today’s Project: Rest and Relaxation

I’m not going to share the whole story here, because I’m writing about it for Equanimity Magazine’s fall edition. Last night I had the opportunity of a lifetime. I walked on fire. No, there was no smoke or mirrors here. We watched the fire tenders light the logs, threw in our fears, and got to work on the seminar. I wound up walking not just once, but twice across the fire. If you asked me 10 years ago, would you ever walk on fire? I’d have laughed at you and gone my own way. Most who know me know that classically I’ve been…timid (to say the least) when it comes to taking chances and taking risks. Normally I fully research something, think about it, research it some more, and it takes some act of congress to get me to act on it.

 I was inspired by letting go of the past, though and I wanted to do something big to commemorate all the life changes I’ve been through. So…enter walking on fire. To read the rest of the story, you’ll just have to wait until the issue comes out this fall (is it time for a subscription?) Firewalking definitely changed my life.
