Gerald G. Jampolsky

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gerald Gersham Jampolsky (born February 11, 1925 in Long Beach , California ) is an American doctor and esoteric author who deals primarily with mental healing and whose main message is: "Love heals best". He is an internationally recognized expert in the fields of psychiatry , health, economics and education.

Career

Jampolsky studied and received his PhD from Stanford Medical School and then worked as a psychiatrist at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco .

In 1974 he met Swami 'Baba' Muktananda, who - as Jampolsky says - had let him experience previously unknown states of consciousness and brought him closer to God again. Jampolsky describes this encounter as a turning point in his life, which until then was marked by professional success but also by the divorce of his long marriage and serious alcohol problems.

In 1975, he founded the Center for Attitudinal Healing (about "Center for healing on the mental attitude") in Tiburon ( California ), where children and young people with disabilities or aggravated diseases are helped, mental peace and, possible to find when healing. The institution was based on the idea that people from all cultures who deal with illnesses, disasters or challenges in their curriculum vitae can find support and be offered help. More than 130 centers or working groups have been established along this line around the world. In 1928 Jampolsky initiated the international project "Children as Teachers for Peace" , which was supposed to give children the opportunity to express their own ideas for shaping the future of humanity.

Commitment, journalistic activity and scientific work

Today Jampolsky writes more books, devotes himself to his patients in the center, travels to the centers for subjective healing and gives lectures or gives seminars. His teaching mostly relates to things that can be felt or understood by everyone. His concerns are overcoming fear, mistrust, and other self-limiting attitudes that he ascribes to the human ego, which in many cases can misunderstand suffering as "friend". As a counter-strategy, he advocates a self-determined turn to spiritual growth in a loving relationship with God and his fellow creatures. The Cologne soul singer Ayọ dedicated a song entitled "Teach love" to him out of enthusiasm for his book Teach only love - German title: What heals is love: Steps to inner peace - which was published in 1983 .

Private life

Jamplonsky is married to the psychologist Diane V. Cirincione-Jamplonsky. The couple has published several books together.
