Given the chance you gotta do it!!!!
How to walk on hot coals
It made me
Empowered! 
"Fun, totally empowering and infinite bragging rights!"
How I did it: I was at a seminar that has it's audience do this as part of team-building and self-confidence exercises. They had us close our eyes, imagine walking over a cool, mossy forest floor and repeat "cool moss, cool moss" over and over.
It works! Just as they say it does...for me it felt like walking across warm, toasty marshmallows. There were people at the end spraying everyone's feet down with water to make sure nothing stuck to our feet
Lessons & tips: Do your research, seek the advice of an instructor and make sure you spray your feet down immediately afterward
People doing this are also doing these things:

The difficulty is in finding hot coals. Maybe I’ll manage it this summer when I go camping… I could build a bigass bonfire. But anyway… I’m just putting this here to remind me to keep my eyes open to the opportunity.
just do it!

It’s easier than you think – something about the specific heat of materials, blah blah. Anyway, we did the research and it seemed doable, so we did it. We went to a friend’s place in the country and built a big bonfire, then let it die down until there was a path of coals between the flames. We did our best to hypnotize each other first, saying, “as long as I follow the man in front of me, I’m safe,” and “cool moss, cool moss!” And then we went – about three or four fast steps, a great rush of accomplishment and camaraderie, and a few blisters the next day. :)

Sounds insane but isn't quite.

To me, jumping out of an airplane is insane; psyching yourself up to walk across hot coals seems far easier in comparison. I just have to get to some kind of event that would have hot coal walking at it. Yes, I’ve heard of Burning Man, but I’m thinking somewhere closer to home.
