Fire Walking

Fire-walking is the act of walking barefoot over a bed of hot coals, without being harmed. It has a long history in many cultures as a test or proof of faith and is used in modern motivational seminars for similar reasons. In modern times it has become contentious as to whether there is a legitimate scientific basis for participants not being burned regardless of their mental state, or whether their apparent invulnerability is the result of an extraordinary mental state or spiritual power.
