WIsE MInD: Walk InG THE  MIDDlE PaTH
••Mindfulness Handout 10: Walking the Middle Path: Finding the Synthesis 
between Opposites. Wise Mind is the middle path between extremes. In Wise Mind, 
we replace “either–or” with “both–and” thinking in an effort to find a synthesis 
between oppositions. Ordinarily, when we are at an extreme on any continuum, we are in danger of distorting reality. This handout is useful if you have already gone through mindfulness training one or more times.
••Mindfulness Worksheet 10: Walking the Middle Path to Wise Mind . This 
worksheet lists several polarities that could be out of balance, and provides space for 
recording practice aimed at balancing them.
••Mindfulness Worksheet 10a: Analyzing Yourself on the Middle Path . Use this 
worksheet to think through whether you are out of balance on each of the polarities listed. “Out of balance” here means a living style that knocks you off your center, 
out of Wise Mind.
••Mindfulness Worksheet 10b: Walking the Middle Path Calendar . This work -
sheet offers opportunities for recording daily practice in a different format than in Worksheet 10. It can also be used in conjunction with Worksheet 10a.
