Tuesday, April 8th, 2008Would you like to know how to walk on fire? 
In this article I am going to tell you how to do that.
Unleash the Power Within is the name of a seminar that I have attended recently. It was in London and there were eight thousand of people from all countries in Europe. We all did a firewalk. Yes a real, barefoot walk on glowing, hot coals!… I liked it so much that I went three times
The seminar was led by Anthony Robbins. He is a top motivational speaker. In the first part I will provide some background about the
seminar, say about the content and about Tony Robbins. Then I will say what we did to unleash our potential and based on that I will tell you how to do a firewalk! Let’s begin:
1. Overview
The Unleash the Power Within seminar is very famous in personal development world. It is about raising the standards.
We’ve spent three and a half days from early morning till late night learning about leadership skills, how to instantly put ourselves into a peak state. The seminar was packed with exercises and was extremely entertaining. It was like a concert with a lot of rhythmic music, clapping and jumping, and there were strobe lights, pumping base. … But also there were quiet moments when we were visualizing. … In fact all emotions were included: we were laughing, crying, we were scared, courageous, we experienced euphoria and calmness. For many people that was the best weekend ever.
Anthony Robbins is a great, charismatic speaker. He says that people can make any vision, dream, or desire a reality.
2. What we did to unleash the power within us
There are three things: physiology, focus and language:
Physiology is about the movements. If you want to be in a peak state you must act like it. Examples of those movements are: pound your chest, raise your arms, hit a fist into your hand. Make sounds like sounds swish! boom! foo! yes! etc… It can’t be like this: slow movement and “phew it didn’t work”, it must be exaggerated move with enthusiastic “SWISH!”.
Tony is saying “where focus goes energy flows”. Questions are the best for directing focus. Instead of asking yourself “why me?” ask “what’s good about this?” If your answer is nothing! Then ask “what could be good?”
Instead of saying: “oh no! I will never manage with that, I’m not good enough” say “Yes! I can do it! Let me handle that”.
3. How to do a firewalk
Those three elements: physiology, focus and language enable us to do a firewalk. We have to be in a peak state. To use physiology make a move, keep head straight, and walk forward with confidence. Do not focus on your feet being burned but see yourself on the other side celebrating. Before a firewalk say “Yes! I am the best!” While walking keep saying “cool moss”.
Putting all together: make a move, say YES!, step up, focus on the other side and keep saying cool moss, cool moss … and celebrate!
Conclusion:
Unleash the Power Within seminar is a spectacular show. It is emotional, entertaining, it conveys wisdom. Tony Robbins teaches motivation in an outstanding way. Whenever you are stuck with fear use three elements: physiology, focus and language. Now you know how to put yourself into a peak state and you know how to walk on fire.
