How can you walk across hot coals?
Firewalking has been going on all over the world for thousands of years with written records going back to 1200 BC. Eastern Orthodox Christians in Bulgaria firewalk during popular religious feasts. So do Japanese Taoists, Buddhists, Indian Fakirs, the !Kung Bushmen, Polynesians, etc. Some claim that firewalking is an example of mind over matter, or a test of the protective power of faith.
