In this motivational clip, Paridhi Dhingra explains how she pioneered firewalking in India about 20 years ago, guiding over one million (10 lakh) participants to walk across flames. She argues that the ability to reprogram a person's experience of firewalking demonstrates that we can also reprogram emotional responses to life challenges such as breakups, bankruptcy, and trauma. The focus is on how one feels during the struggle rather than the struggle itself. Paridhi cites Tony Robbins as a key influence and mentor, linking her work to broader self‑help methodologies.

When you can reprogram a person's experience of walking on fire, you can reprogram a person's experience of going through a breakup. You can reprogram a person's experience of going through bankruptcy. You can reprogram a person's experience of going through trauma. So 20 years ago, I was one of the first people in India to make people walk on fire, and I've so far made more than 10 lakh people walk on fire.
No blisters?
No blisters. Blisters, yes. You can handle it. Point is how you feel when you walk.
Huh.
Don't you go through struggles?
Yeah. The
point is not that. The point is how you go through that struggle. Uh, the person who made this famous after them was Tony Robbins. Yeah. My mentor.
