Selah: A Mindfulness Guide through Grief
2012
Since the 1990s, a burgeoning number of clinicians have actively engaged in mindfulnessbased interventions (MBI), to improve outcomes both for clients and for themselves. While
initial evidence of the effi cacy of MBI was primarily anecdotal (Kabat-Zinn, 1982), the
empirical data in its support is gradually mounting in the areas of mindfulness-based stress
reduction, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and
mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (Hoffman, Sawyer, Witt, & Oh, 2010). Yet,
despite the potential for its utilization, few mindfulness-based paradigms have been proposed
for bereavement counseling. The Selah Grief Model is a mindfulness-based, guided
intervention that recognizes two foci: self and other. The term selah itself derives from the
Hebrew word celah , often noted in the book of Psalms to remind the reader to pause, refl ect,
and contemplate meaning.
