HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

Forward’s team of coaches, trainers and speakers have been trained and certified by the Fire Walking Institute of Research and Education in USA to help you unlock your potential, overcome any obstacle and grow exponentially. Our purpose as firewalking instructors, to serve merely as :human potential facilitators”. We hold the space of possibility as others empower themselves. We open the door for each individual to create the courage within, in order to fulfil their life purpose. It is our intention that our empowerment classes create a global community of individuals who are committed to dynamic personal and spiritual growth.

The practice of walking barefoot over a bed of red-hot coals has evolved into powerful tool for self-realization and empowerment. From its humble beginning back in 1977, when Burkan first realized that fire walking could be used as a technique for personal growth and began teaching it to others, the fire walking movement has grown to the point that even a President of the United States has sought the experience. Firewalking today is known as a tool for personal empowerment, touching people’s lives from small spiritual groups to large corporate organizations. .

The success of Firewalking is readily apparent by the huge number multi-national corporations that see the value in using the fire walk to transform and motivate their employees. The list includes companies such as Microsoft, Met-Life, American Express, RE/MAX International, Coca-Cola and many other corporate giants. Firewalking allows people to experience a source of energy which helps them reach beyond their limiting beliefs. Breaking through one’s perceived boundaries frees an incredible amount of creative energy, allowing people to redefine themselves as free adventures to whom the impossible become achievable.

Breaking boards or bricks with your bear hands might seem like an impossible thing to do, yet it is actually requires very little strengths if the correct strengths is used. We teach people to break boards and bricks with their bear hands to demonstrate how the ego continually limit us. Ego controls energy. If we label a task disagreeable, ego limits our energy. Conversely, when something agreeable comes into our lives, suddenly ego is able to liberate huge amounts of energy. The first step in approaching any challenge is to pay attention to your ego’s programming and how it can interfere with peak performance and ultimate success. The board or brick represents every situation in your life where you give less than 100% or shrink back because you feel intimidated.

The Bending Steel exercise helps people realize that there are things in life that appear impossible, but actually are quite achievable. Almost impossible to describe, two individuals completely bend a piece of steel rebar (yes, the kind used in reinforced concrete construction) strategically placed in a very vulnerable location on the throat. This exercise is not about strengths, but about concentration, focus, trust and working together for a common goal.

The Broken Glass metaphor is almost a Zen practice which totally focuses you in the moment. Glass walking is an extreme method of learning to be completely awake and present in life’s daily challenges. Until recently, glass walking was the exclusive domain of mystics and fakirs, versed in the ancient disciplines of yoga and martial arts. The methods were hidden from prying eyes in order to promote magical myths about those people fortunate enough to share in the secret knowledge- the initiated few. When a human being manages to pay attention 100% on what he is experiencing, something unique and spectacular happens. When we commit 100% no part of our mind can wonder off.
