Frequently Asked Questions

Middle Way Mind Training or MWMT is a holistic healing program, developed by Frank Navratil that incorporates meditation and mindfulness techniques based on Buddhist science along with personal individualized consultations and guided practical exercises 

MWMT is in no way a religious method.  It is based on Buddhist science, probably the most detailed understanding on how the human mind works.  It is therefore open to anyone, regardless of religious affiliation or belief.  Its main intention is to reduce unnecessary suffering. 

MWMT can greatly assist stress and anxiety and improve happiness. It has been shown to assist and provide relief for many problems. 

MWMT benefits include greater control of the mind, increased happiness, reduced stress and anxiety, reduction of worry, better control of emotions and better sleep, as well as many more benefits. 

MWMT can be tailored to most conditions, there is no condition where you would not benefit. 

MWMT through meditation and mindfulness exercises has been known to release emotions that may have been suppressed for a long time.  These may appear at first to be negative but are usually beneficial to the healing process. 

This is difficult to predict as we are all different.  Most clients find significant changes and improvement after the 8 week program. 

Yes, after every session, I will give you one or more guided exercises for you to do on a daily basis.  They come in MP3 audio format so you can follow along as you hear my instructions. At times you may be given some written exercises which you can bring to your next session. 

Wear some loose comfortable clothing for meditation.  Find a quiet, comfortable and safe place for you to hold the video calls.  Either have available a meditation cushion or pillow or mat, or a chair, whatever you are most comfortable sitting on. 

Usually about 1 hour daily. 

 

They come in audio format that will be sent to you by email.  They are usually 20 minutes in duration.  They include meditation techniques and other mindfulness methods that will require you to sit on a meditation cushion or in a chair during that time.  At times you may be asked to do some written assignments 

Certainly.  MWMT does not replace psychotherapy or your psychology treatment in any way.  Always consult with your therapist if you are not sure. 

MWMT is not covered by health insurance. 

Just go to the Book a Session icon on the web site and you will be directed how to proceed.  Alternatively you can also use the Contact Form and I will contact you and answer any questions you may have.  

I reside in the Czech Republic so our time zone is CET (Central European Time)

Consultations are only in the English language 

Individual MWMT online video call sessions cost 95 USD per 50 minute session

Definitely.  MWMT is only a support for your condition and it is not recommended for you to stop any existing therapy you may be undergoing.   Always consult with your therapist if you are not sure.

As long as you cancel 48 hours or more before your session, your payment will be refunded.  If you cancel less than 48 hours before your session, unfortunately you will be charged for the session and payment will not be refunded. 

If you need more than 8 sessions, just let me know and we can continue on a weekly basis as you need for the same 8 session price which is 75 USD per session. 

 

Yes, certainly, you can book just one session, even though it is recommended you continue for at least 8 sessions to get the most benefit.  If you decide to continue after your first session, the rate can be adjusted so that you only pay a total of 600 USD for 8 sessions.  This way you can first see if  MWMT is for you and whether we are a good match, without having to commit to 8 sessions right away. 

I use Zoom for consultations.  Just sign up for free at www.zoom.com .    I will send you an email with the link for each consultation meeting that we have scheduled. 

Yes, certainly.  I will do my best to accommodate your requests.  Please give me 48 hours in advance if possible. 

During the 50 minute nutritional consultation we go over together your diet, your goals, your health problems and compose a nutritional plan that will benefit your physical and mental health.  A summary report with recommendations that we discussed in the consultation will be sent to you by email usually 48 hours afterwards. 

During the General Physical Health consultation, we go over your current and past health problems as well as symptoms you may be experiencing and discuss natural naturopathic ways to deal with them, usually in the form of nutritional therapy and lifestyle advice.  A summary report with recommendations that we discussed in the consultation will be sent to you by email usually 48 hours afterwards. 

 

The cost of the Nutritional or General Health consultations is 95 USD for the 50 minute session.  This includes a brief summary report with recommendations that we discussed in the consultation.  

The consultations times are in Central European Time (CET). To find a suitable time for your consultation in your time zone that coincides with one of the CET time zones, please use our online widget which you will find on the Booking page.

Informed Consent Form(Please read and then check the box)


I specifically authorize Middle Way Mind Training to develop and conduct consultation services with me which will include online consultations, various meditation and mindfulness practices and written exercises. For Nutritional and General Health Consultations, it will include online consultations that will analyze and discuss recommendations on how to improve natural health through diet, lifestyle, nutritional supplements, herbs and dietary advice. I understand that consultations, podcasts, and programs are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease including conditions of cancer, Aids, infections, or other medical or psychological conditions and that these are not being tested for or treated.
I understand that no guarantee or assurance of any specific result is given or implied.
I understand that consultations, products, and programs do not replace conventional medical or psychiatric care and that regular medical or psychological examinations for the early detections of physical or mental disease are important.
I understand that Middle Way Mind Training has informed me and recommended me to consult with my medical doctor or therapist if necessary before I engage in the consultations.
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.
PAYMENT FOR SERVICES AND PRODUCTS
Middle Way Mind Training consultations are not covered by any insurance plan.
All fees for our services are due prior to your consultation and are displayed on our web site. This is to keep you informed of charges before they are incurred and to provide faster service.
We require a 48hr or more notice of cancellation or rescheduling your single consultation. If you notify us less than 48 hours, you will be charged and will not be refunded. If you have purchased our 8 session consultation package, and need to reschedule a consultation, you must do so 48hrs or more in advance. If you notify us less than 48 hours in advance, you will be charged and will not be refunded for that consultation.
