About Us

What is Middle Way Mind Training?

Middle Way Mind Training (MWMT) is a new, empowering holistic healing program developed by Dr. Frank Navratil and based on 2500 years of Buddhist science.  

It is not a religious method, but a practical scientific method. 

It consists of an effective and long-lasting program that trains the mind to create a happy, satisfied and balanced outlook with meaning. It develops the mind to react favorably to whatever life hands out to you, whatever tragedy comes your way or whatever difficulties you may encounter in your daily life, in your relationships, in your work, through your aspirations and your goals. It is a method that trains the mind out of its non-beneficial habitual thinking to see reality as it actually plays out, moment by moment, not the way we imagine it to be. 

More encompassing and holistic than just mindfulness training, the scope of Middle Way Mind Training spans a program with elements influenced by mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, compassion focused therapy, scientific –backed meditation techniques, Buddhist psychology with personalized individual consultations and guided practical homework exercises. 

Just as we need to train our physical body to maintain its health, we also need to learn to train our minds to achieve optimum psychological health and to resolve the variety of complex problems that we may be faced with. 

Middle Way Mind Training offers a program that together with your dedicated participation and effort can achieve this. 

2500 years of Buddhist science 

With our thoughts, we make our world

The Buddha 

The Buddha was one of the greatest scientists and psychologists to ever walk this earth.  Only now after over 2500 years, are modern psychiatrists, psychologists, and cognitive therapists finally going back to closely study this ancient wisdom he discovered thousands of years ago.   

From Buddhist psychology we owe the increasing expansion of the mindfulness movement and meditation techniques that are popular today.  

His goal was only one:  to find a way to reduce suffering in our lives 

He discovered a method where all human beings could achieve this; it was called the Noble Eightfold Path or Middle Way.  

The Middle Way was a practical path that leads to freedom from suffering.  And what is more, it is available to every one of us.  

More encompassing and holistic than just mindfulness training, the scope of Middle Way Mind Training spans a program with elements influenced by mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, compassion focused therapy, scientific –backed meditation techniques, Buddhist psychology with personalized individual consultations and guided practical homework exercises. 

Just as we need to train our physical body to maintain its health, we also need to learn to train our minds to achieve optimum psychological health and to resolve the variety of complex problems that we may be faced with. 

Middle Way Mind Training offers a program that together with your dedicated participation and effort can achieve this. 

About The Middle Way

Successfully dealing with mental pain and suffering in your life requires training in: 

  • ethics (avoiding deeds that are non-virtuous)  
  • concentration (controlling the mind)  and 
  • wisdom (developing insight into the nature of reality) 

There are 8 components of the Noble Eightfold Path or Middle Way in Buddhist Psychology that encompass the threefold training in ethics, concentration, and wisdom: 

1. CORRECT VIEW : Developing an accurate understanding or view of the nature of reality which includes the nature of suffering, the causes, and how you can reduce or remove suffering from your life  

2.CORRECT INTENTION: Learning how to avoid thoughts of attachment, aversion, and harmful intent   

3.CORRECT SPEECH: Training the mind to refrain from verbal misdeeds such as lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, and senseless speech  

4.CORRECT ACTION: Training the mind to refrain from physical misdeeds such as killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, and any other actions that harm yourself and others  

5.CORRECT LIVELIHOOD: Avoiding work that directly or indirectly harms others  

6.CORRECT EFFORT: Learning to abandon negative states of mind that have already arisen, preventing negative states that have yet to arise, and sustaining positive states of mind   

7.CORRECT MINDFULNESS: Training the mind to expand its awareness of the body, feelings, and thoughts 

8.CORRECT CONCENTRATION: Training in single-pointed concentrated meditation methods

It has also proven very useful in anger management, poor motivation, loneliness, dealing with terminal illness, cases of abuse, post traumatic stress, and mental and physical pain.

A HEALTHY and HAPPIER LIFESTYLE
Our consultation programs are designed to help you establish a healthier and happier lifestyle. For the Mind Training Consultations, recommendations may include specific meditation and mindfulness exercises, written exercises and other forms of training, including home practice. For the Nutritional and Health Consultations, recommendations may include nutritional supplements, herbs, food selection, exercise, and lifestyle advice. Results depend on the earnest implementation of these recommendations.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR ONLINE CONSULTATION SERVICES
When engaging in meditation and mindfulness practices taught through Middle Way Mind Training, while generally very safe, in rare cases there may be unexpected reactions as suppressed emotions may surface and may cause temporary mental discomfort or unease. When taken at recommended dosages nutritional or herbal supplements are generally recognized as safe. Occasionally one may experience temporary digestive upset or a temporary allergic reaction. Because you have not been physically examined, the practitioner has less information, for that reason you are encouraged to have periodic medical checkups especially if you have persistent symptoms, recurrent symptoms or if you do not seem to be responding to the recommended nutritional program. We do not sell nutritional or herbal supplements at Middle Way Mind Training.
