Welcome from jinavamsa.

This web site is to give information on the book by Mitchell D. Ginsberg:
Calm, Clear, and Loving:
Soothing the Distressed Mind, Healing the Wounded Heart
This book is a guide to understanding consciousness and a tool to deal with life's struggles.
It is interested in the mind--not the intellectual mind, but the vibrant consciousness that is the sum of our thinking, feeling, and emotional processes, called the wise heart or the heart-mind. It presents some theoretical considerations to help understand this mind, and also addresses the nature of experiential processes that the troubled mind undergoes. These concerns are addressed in part from a theoretical perspective. One key interest is in the psychology of distress and its being soothed or resolved.
The book also addresses actual experiences of stresses in life, including those of some more intense moments that some have experienced, including life traumas of varying intensities.
I have been drawn to these issues through the decades first in a theoretical way, with a philosophical interest in clarity and articulateness of understanding.
In addition, I have worked practically with people, seeking to be of help to those in dire stress, including those who have experienced both one-time and also ongoing traumatic events, and also including those who have undergone torture, both in various politically powerful contexts from around the world, as well as in more domestic contexts that we would wish did not exist at all.
This book is not crusading for anything in particular. It is being offered to
give interested readers an occasion to reflect upon these experiences, to understand them more clearly, and to consider with an open mind various approaches to being of help, of self-transformation to calm, clarity, and a loving frame of mind.
