Deciphering Fear From Intuition 1000 Feet Up: Faith Dickey at TEDxAustin

Professional slackliner, Faith Dickey walks a teeny tiny stretchy, web band with us and shares what she has learned about fearing less and letting go.
She talks about protecting voices to discover a much more balanced perspective on taking risk, feeling alive and being completely connected to what life... and the mountains... are inviting us to experience.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Good talk. It's refreshing to see a woman embrace fear and not run or hide from it

I would love to hear her (or anyone else who does this without a safety line) explain their feelings regarding taking that huge risk of falling to a certain death. I don't understand why someone would take that risk, as it seems almost a death wish.
