The Middle Way
Avoiding extremes and finding balance in all things.
Extremes in any direction cause problems. Too much or too little, too fast or too slow, too rigid or too flexible - all create imbalance. The middle way navigates between extremes, finding the balance point where effectiveness and health reside.
The center holds while the edges spin away.
Middle way teaching reflects Mayan emphasis on balance and harmony.

- What Maya wisdom says about balance
Too much and too little are both named as faults, and so are too fast and too slow. The centre is where things hold.
