^{Regardless of whether you experience the Time4Change Glass-walk Seminar on a fundraising, events or corporate template, you can guarantee the experience will be unforgettable. During the course of our two hour seminar, we equip each participant with the necessary skill set to walk over a bed of broken glass in a state of relaxed concentration.}

^{It is testament to the quality and effectiveness of the training each participant receives that every single person who has undertaken the training, has gone on to safely glass-walk.}

^{Not only has each participant gained from the knowledge that they are capable of doing extraordinary things, the skill set we have equipped them with for walking over broken glass remains with them for the rest of their lives.}

^{Ultimately the benefit of glass-walking is its utility as a physical metaphor and as such can be broken down into a simple maxim:}

"If you can walk over broken glass, what else can you achieve in your life?"

^{As the audience reaction shows, It is testament to the perceived belief system that walking over broken glass is 'impossible' without sustaining injury and because of that Derren Brown was able to manipulate this 'consensus reality' belief to his own advantage.}

^{In a sense, what we do in our workshops is very similar in that we use the perceived 'impossibility' of glass-walking to demonstrate the very real point that often what one believes to be true becomes true.} 

^{As the photographs below taken on a charity sponsored event show, glass-walking is not some 'esoteric' activity only possible after years of training. Nor does it take some 'super-human' ability to achieve it. Like firewalking and board-breaking, each healthy person has the innate ability to walk across a bed of broken glass without injury, provided they are taught the necessary skills and empowering belief system.}

^{The physics behind walking across a bed of broken glass is very simple and can be illustrated by the well known 'bed of nails' act where a person will lie down unharmed on a flat sheet of wood embedded with multiple thick nails.}

^{The person can support themselves on the bed because the weight of the body is distributed over many individual points created by the nails. Obviously if the person tired to lay down on a single nail the outcome would be very different!. Likewise as you walk across a bed of broken glass the multiple pieces act like the bed of nails and provide multiple points of support.}

^{This, coupled with the fact that the skin on the sole of the foot is very thick in comparison to other parts of the body, allows a person to safely walk across broken glass.}

^{After you have taken part in the training seminar you will approach the bed of glass in a relaxed yet aware state of mind and once you have been given the opportunity to cross the lane the instructor Cliff Mann and/or another staff member will guide you every step of the way across.}

^{Many people have described the feeling of the glass like "walking across a pebble beach" or like "walking on cornflakes!"  Afterwards they invariably comment on what an amazing and exhilarating experience it was and often ask if they can do it again!}

^{Cliff Mann has demonstrated glass-walking on the Discovery Health channel. You can view an excerpt of the footage in our media objects section or below:}

^{The You Tube video below features a number of brave volunteers taking part in a sponsored glass walk to raise funds for Bolton Hospice. While the footage may not the best quality, the video perfectly captures a T4C glass walk.}
