Led another firewalk yesterday…
…and it was amazing. Several participants had major breakthroughs, andthe rest merely felt massively empowered and energized. All participants walked the fire, no burns at all. I love doing this work. I love seeing people transform before my eyes. Here are a few of the most eloquent testamonials I got from last night’s participants:
“I broke through something so deep inside myself that I didn’t even know it was holding me back. In a safe, protected environment, strangers became friends and opened our hearts to each other. And then we walked through fire together. Yes! Yes! Yes!” — Marne O’Shae, physician
“To be given both perspective and self-confidence is a truly beautiful thing. Thank you Tony.” — Grant B., butcher
“Do not bring anything with you.
There is nothing to prepare for.
The journey takes you through yourself
No matter where you are
Each step toward the fire, is your next step in life.
Each step on the fire is the process of awakening.
Each step away from the fire
Is filled with gratitude.
Thank you.” — Ira Kamp, dentist/acupuncturist
“Tonight was unbelievably powerful. I conquered what was keeping me from all that I can be. I conquered myself. I am filled with power beyond measure. I can create and do anything. I am my own creator.” — Josh M., student
What fun to be able to share that with people! Keep spreading the word. I want my firewalks to be BIG. Next walk: August 20.

Best Corporate Apology Ever…
Yesterday I received a letter from the lovely people at my favourite website – I Want One Of Those.
I ordered a lot of my Christmas shopping from the site, as I have done for some years. This year, they did two big new things – they opened up the site to US residents and became a hot ticket there as well as in the UK; and they advertised on television for the first time.
Their ads were fun and drew the crowds – probably far more then they were expecting. I don’t believe they were ready for it. Normally, iWoot service is the best I’ve ever experienced. No sooner have you finished the order with a final click, than a courier’s tapping you on the shoulder with your delivery. This Christmas was not normal.

Article on Firewalking in Ithaca Times
Ithaca man teaches firewalking for empowerment

That human beings could walk barefoot across hot coals would seem to defy common sense, but for Tony Simons, a certified firewalk instructor who regularly holds workshops on firewalking, it is a way to break down psychological barriers and bring out people’s inner strengths.
“Firewalking can be extremely transformative for people,” said Simons. “It can really change your life.”
A typical firewalk workshop starts off with Simons giving some empowerment exercises that are designed to help participants conquer their fear. One such exercise, Simons said, involves writing down bad habits on a board, such as laziness or procrastination, and then breaking the board in two. It’s all in line with the overall purpose of the fire walk, which Simons said is to raise people’s courage.
“This isn’t so much about giving you courage, as helping you realize the courage you already have,” said Simons. “Firewalking helps people overcome their fear and self-doubt. And later in life, when you’re overcoming other challenges, you can think, ‘I can do this, because I walked through fire.’”
