I dreamed the night before I took my Reiki ART class that I was in a clearing standing before a path of hot coals and that I stepped barefoot on them and walked slowly along the path. I expected to feel agony as my feet burned, but I felt only a slight warmth and no sensation of stepping on rocks or anything at all really. The night sky around me was partially obscured by the smoke from the coals, but I felt no burning and kept walking until I completed the path and turned to look where I had walked. My feet showed no signs of burns or even soot, and the dream ended with me thinking how interesting it was to walk on coals and have no sensation of burning or marks at all.
During my attunement I found myself standing in front of the path of hot, glowing coals again, but this time instead of darkness around me and the stars twinkling between wisps of smoke I saw a perfectly clear star-studded night sky around me. As I began to step forward onto the coals the stars disappeared and a rosy pink mist formed everywhere except directly in front of me. It was as if the dark mouth of a cave had formed in front of me and been surrounded by the rosy pink glowing light, and I felt a sense of peace and relaxation as I walked into the darkness.
I walked onto the coals but felt no heat, and I found myself enveloped in the mist instead of in the cool darkness. My fears from the night before vanished and in their place I felt warmth and a feeling of absolute love and complete contentment, and I felt the presence around me of familiar souls. I sighed and walked across the rest of the coals to find myself sitting in the room in my Reiki class again. I can still feel that rosy glow even now when I close my eyes and relax, and I believe that is a lovely gift.
I like to think of those moments as “Hanged Man” or “Hermit” times, when you just have to be introspective and disconnect, so you can process. You’ll come back, and better than ever.

Amazing images now it’s about learning your lessons.
Have you ever tried it? The walking on coals? I’ve always wanted to, for purely scientific and spiritual reasons of course.
I never tried it in real life, but it sounds amazing. Maybe we can one day:)
