Michael McDermott Obituary (Died Nov 17th, 2009
March 27, 2010
Just found out that one of my two Firewalk Teachers died on November 17th, 2009 of pancreatic cancer.
Here is the poem they read at his memorial.
THE FINAL FLIGHT Don’t grieve for me, for now i’m free, i’m following the path god laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I’ve found that peace at the end of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes,these things too I will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one’touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to breif, Don’t lengthen it now with undue greif. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

San Diego’s Empowerment Day (March 21st, 2010)
January 11, 2010
The People of San Diego will have the same opportunity to walk on a bed of hot coals this March 21st, 2010.
Have you heard about Firewalking at personal growth seminars and corporate training events? This style of Firewalking training is less than 30 years old and an amazing technique to help people wake up to their full potential. (We put on those same type of events, too).
Firewalking as a cultural and spiritual event has existed for thousands of years. This Firewalk is in the spirit of these traditions, specifically the Huna “Umu Ki” Ceremony. This is not a seminar, rather a community celebration. People from all walks of life are invited to this no matter what their background, or what their dealing with in life. Come have fun, connect with other like minded people, and be empowered. It is only through our affiliation and relationship with our community or tribe that we find true power.
The timing of this Firewalk celebration, just after the Vernal Equinox and the 1st day of Spring, marks the the “New Year,” in both the Persian and Huna communities.
A potluck will be earlier in the day, followed by a Firewalk in the evening.
Date: Sunday March 21st, 2010
Time:
Gathering/Potluck: 5-6pm
Firewalk Ceremony: 6-9:30pm
Location:
Vista, CA

Testimonies
From May 23rd, 2009:
Julian has been great!! This was my second firewalk but by far the most transformational. I have been able to take action on the very things I have struggled to accomplish for years as a direct result of Julian’s coaching, the firewalk experience, and the connections I have found because of him. Thank you Julian for everything you do. Scott and I both felt such a profound connection with you that we see ourselves knowing you, working with you, and co-creating with you for many, many years to come. — Tracy
Chances are remote that I will not accomplish my task. If I was willing to walk through hot coals for my book, surely I’ll walk through whatever comes in my path to accomplishing my goal. Julian’s coaching was also extremely helpful in that it widened my vision to clearly see new possibilities for bringing forth Core Mastery. Thank you , Julian! – Jitendra
I first saw people walking on fire at “Survivor” (TV program) and thought “wow! how do they do that?” Now, after having done that myself, people are asking me, “wow! how did you do that?” The experience gave me a sense of confidence that if I put my mind to it, I can work through my fears and do it anyway. It started a pattern inside of me to take risks on a daily basis. And to me, this is huge. I am grateful to Julian for his courage and passion to help others transform their lives in such a unique and powerful way. -Yoshiko

CAMBIAR LA PERCEPCION—CAMINATA DE FUEGO
January 15, 2009
Juan Carlos Quesada:
Conferencista Internacional de Motivación e inspiración con más de 20 años experiencia impartiendo seminarios de crecimiento personal y profesional. Realizando caminatas de fuego con Tony Robbins en países como Australia, Inglaterra, Francia India y Estados Unidos comunicando con un mensaje de determinación y decisión para hacer realidad nuestros sueños remover cualquier miedo.
Somos seres divinos extremadamente poderosos de energía y co-creadores. Lo primero que manifestamos es nuestra realidad y lo hacemos por los pensamientos que nosotros escogemos, las palabras que utilizamos para solidificarse en esos pensamientos y las emociones que seleccionamos y amplificamos. Si escogemos someternos a un sendero del un conocimiento más alto sólo toma un pequeño cambio en nuestras creencias para comenzar el viaje.
Pedimos que las personas cambien su creencia de: “el fuego siempre quema” a “el fuego no siempre quema” y eso es el comienzo para ser capaz de caminar por el fuego sin peligro. El deseo y la apertura para cambiar la creencia es un paso importantísimo y necesario para el sendero del conocimiento más alto, que es casualmente indispensable al caminar sobre el fuego. ¿Si podemos pisar carbón caliente a mas de 1000 grados (f) y no quemarnos los pies, imagínate lo que podemos hacer que nunca pensamos antes?
¿QUE ES CAMINAR SOBRE EL FUEGO?
En la caminata de fuego nosotros encendemos un fuego de leña, la cantidad varía según el tamaño del grupo, y permitimos que se queme hasta convertirlo en carbón. Esto toma generalmente acerca de 90 minutos entonces nosotros esparcimos el carbón en una pista para caminar descalzo. El punto de ebullición de agua es 212 grados (F) que es suficiente en causar quemaduras de segundo grado. La temperatura de este carbón es de 800 a 1200 grados (F). ¡SI es posible andar a través de esta temperatura sin peligro!
CAMINAR SOBRE EL FUEGO no es una experiencia religiosa. No es una experiencia espiritual, a menos que usted escoja hacerla espiritual. No toma hipnosis ni algún estado alterado de consciencia para andar sin peligro. Toma 100% de su atención y dedicación como lo sería para alcanzar sus sueños. Caminar sobre el fuego es una indicación de que una persona se ha encarado de vencer el temor.
Esto no es como el paracaidismo ni el bangee que saltan porque el individuo debe fiarse de sí mismo para la seguridad antes que la tecnología. La caminata de fuego requiere a una persona que dependa de sí misma y se fíe de su ser interno y alto para la protección. Es esta auto dependencia que hace caminar sobre el fuego una experiencia tan transcendental. Somos seres muy poderosos y y nuestro Seminario de Caminata de fuego demuestra cómo conseguir acceso a este potencial ilimitado y utilizarlo para andar a través de carbón a mas de 1200 grados f.
¿COMO SABRE yo SI LO PUEDO HACER?
La manera de poder andar en carbón es estar en un estado personal de gratitud con la intención y esperanza positiva. No es prudente correr o saltar. Es necesario controlar los pensamientos y mantener el estado mental apropiado. Es un estado en donde usted se permita sin ninguna duda almacenada en el área inaccesible de su mente alcanzar su poder. Saber realmente cuando usted está listo es necesario para pararse delante de las brasas resplandecientes y sentir que el calor irradia completamente arriba de sus piernas y entonces se pregunta. ¿Puedo hacer yo esto sin peligro hoy? Incluso si la respuesta es no formar parte del grupo de la caminata de fuego es asombroso. Los sentimientos del regocijo, el entusiasmo y el poder personal después de que una caminata de fuego es sorprendente aunque decida no pasar.
¿POR QUE PISARIA CUALQUIERA CARBON CALIENTE?
1. Para experimentar la evidencia concreta que usted es muy poderoso y es capaz de logros asombrosos.
2. Para saber lo que se siente conseguir acceso a su potencial infinito y tener la autoridad total en su vida para cualquier cosa.
3. Para confrontar el temor y darse cuenta de que la barrera más grande a su éxito en cualquier tentativa es el temor incontrolable excesivo.
4. Caminar sobre el fuego es de mucha diversión y causa que el cuerpo produzca endorfinas que producen una cierta euforia.
¿TENDRE YO QUE PASAR POR EL FUEGO?
La decisión de andar o no es totalmente del participante. Sólo el participante sabrá si lo puede hacer sin peligro. Hay generalmente un pequeño porcentaje que decide no pasar. Para muchos implica sensaciones de terror y ansiedad poder imaginar que pasaran por el fuego si esto sucede no pase.
¿ES ESTO FACIL? Sí es fácil. Sólo toma COMO 5 minutos de mostrar 80% de las personas para saber cómo hacerlo. Otros toman un poco más de tiempo para entrar el estado apropiado. Es una experiencia maravillosa y de mucha diversión que podemos lograr como equipo con un mismo propósito: El Amor.
