FIRE
The fire within...
Fire worship, practiced as a rite of purification, healing, initiation and transcendence, has been a long thread in the cultural tapestry of our planet. Many tribal people had, or have, rituals and ceremonies to honor the sacred aspect of fire – honoring its gifts and acknowledging its transformative power. Fire worship and firewalking has nourished and warmed the human spirit since the dawning of humankind. In contemporary society, firewalking has evolved into a powerful tool for self-realization and empowerment. ~ History of Firewalking, Sundoor
Fire is ancient. It is in our DNA. We are not doing something new… we are walking in the footsteps of those before us and offering a way for those that come after us.
Raise your energy, meet the energy of the fire.
Invoke your ancestors, connect with their stories, sing their songs, yell their battle cries. This is the space where we transmute the seemingly impossible to possible.
In order for something new to be born, something has to die. It’s our natural cycle of death & rebirth, destruction & creation. This is our pathway for transformation.
The ancient art of firewalking creates an incredibly powerful metaphor that has the ability to be deeply impactful for all those involved. ~ Lottie, Wild Soul Firewalk
I love Fire
My pathway to firewalking
Firewalking showed up for me during the transition of closing the float center. My first walk was for my 40th birthday. My next, was for my son's right of passage and 16th birthday. A similar pioneering path as the one to the float tanks, I started to build a relationship with fire through experiential curiosity. Felt like the time I dove into 10 days in the dark, accidentally on purpose, thinking it was one thing and then discovering it was so much more! Sat humbly at the feet of the fire as it taught me how to tend it. In the spring of 2022 before starting up The ForRest, the call to the fire was like a forest fire in my heart that lead me to Ireland to get certified as a Sundoor Firewalker Instructor and Empowerment coach. Surrounded by the magic of the land, faeries and rainbows, Fire presented itself as an ancient teacher.
Love note to Fire: Thank you for teaching me about transformation, tending inner and outer spaces, observation, offerings, and blissful joy!
Thank you for teaching me about how to "walk the fire" is in our own way and its about you and you.
