Hypnotherapist, coach & master firewalk instructor, Barry Collins, joins us to discuss how firewalking is not about firewalking. It is a metaphor for all the changes and challenges we face in life.

Listen to Real Men Feel, #188, Walking Through The Fire here:

Barry shares how firewalking can help people surpass perceived limitations, gain empowerment, and look at life in a new way. He also tells us how firewalking spread from India to the western world and into personal growth events in the US and UK.

Firewalking is NOT to be taken lightly or tried at home. Lots of training goes into leading these events and many lessons can be learned from participants at any point during the event. Barry has led over 3,000 people across the coals, and his instructors do 100 firewalks as part of their training.

We discuss the attraction and repulsion of fire, the importance of being able to not just listen to instructions, but follow them, the most impactful insights people have had, and how firewalking develops a form of resilience. Barry also shows us, if you watch the video, a cringe-inducing example of how we can choose our response to anything.
