The programs and instruction being made available by Mindful Aviator are free for aviation professionals all over the world. Simply enter your airline code or the code of the airport where you are based. No personal information required! If you are not an aviation professional, I suggest the free introductory program under the resources section, audio recordings and non-pilot local community.

    Mindful Aviator is not a medical or clinical mental health resource. It is an organization dedicated to making Mindfulness and Meditation practice available in a secular, no-nonsense and useful way for professional pilots. When practiced regularly, Mindfulness and Meditation can help crewmembers reduce stress, improve situational awareness and resilience. It is not a “Cure” for mental illness, anxiety disorders, depression, addiction and so forth. While it is often used in conjunction with traditional treatments and interventions, it is not intended to replace them.

    Mindfulness Based Situational Awareness MBSA (Includes Stress Management & Resilience Training)

    This is a 6-week program that includes five talks per week (two days to catch up if you fall behind) and weekly “one-on-one” time with your instructor Carl.

    MBSA is a prerequisite for most other programs, many of which will be custom tailored to each individual crewmember.

    This program is designed to be “portable” and will require less than an hour of time each day. One-on-one time will be scheduled as phone, Skype or other with an emphasis on direct dialog and flexibility for the traveling crewmember.

Carl received training in MBRP from the UCSD Center for Mindfulness, Mindfulness-Based Professional Training Institute.

    Prerequisite for this MBRP program is completion of the Mindfulness Based Situational Awareness course and an interview with the instructor Carl Eisen.

    Mindfulness Based Pain Management

    Due to the unique nature and variability of each person’s situation (degree of and how they experience “pain”), this program must be tailored to the individual.

    Please contact Carl Eisen for a consultation and recommended course of action.
