What things have you done before that have involved psyching yourself up and using mind over matter? Like Bungee jumping, skydiving ect.
I'm looking at walking across hot coals for charity...The way i see it, bungee jumping and skydiving just take one step off the crane or aircraft...hotcoals you have to concentrate through-out. I found a course that does walking on broken glass, spear to the throat and hot coal walking.
Problem is my legs are so damn hairy i'd have to wax them before going across hot coals or i'd turn into a fireball! lol. |

| mind over matter issues arise when the safety is in place and its just a question of psyching up the mind to take the plunge. but walking across hot coal ? the safety levels are far less to warrent any question of mind over matter at all. just don't do it :D |

| But there are not a vast amount of mind over matter opertunities in the world. Thats what i'm looking for, a test of my mind where i have to reinforce myself that everything will be okay.. |

| six flags. some of the rides are more than enough to test your mind over matter theory. |

saw this stuff on bull. sadly, its bull.
your feet are horrible conductors of heat, the coals really arent that hot, and as long as you keep pushing on the spear, it wont hurt you. i wouldnt pay for this. |

| as a bungee junkie id have to say that a tall jump often puts the mind to the test especially right before you throw yourself...wonderful feeling...but hot coals thats a good idea i think that has to do more with your state of mind and perception of pain rather than your absolute "will" or "intent". also heroic dosages of any chemical can put even a strong mind to the test...i think this has to do more than metaphysical matters liek the soul than anything else though...just my 2 cents. |

| I used to use mind over matter to get rid of headaches. constantly repeating to myself that I didnt have a headache or that I felt great. after a few minutes, headaches gone. |
