Mindfulness-Based Interventions for Bereavement: A Systematized Narrative Review

Healthcare March 6, 2026 Fabio D’Antoni, Fabio Mattiussi, Cristiano Crescentini 2 citations

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), particularly Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, improve grief-related distress, depressive symptoms, and psychological well-being in bereaved individuals. These interventions reduce rumination and experiential avoidance while increasing self-compassion and emotion regulation. Evidence from 17 studies, however, remains preliminary due to small sample sizes, varied outcome measures, and limited long-term follow-up. MBIs appear promising as adjunctive support in bereavement care, targeting acceptance, decentering, and self-compassion. High-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to establish efficacy and clarify mechanisms.

The Phenomenology of Advanced Meditation Experiences and Interpretation of the Nature of Human Consciousness

Patrizio Tressoldi, Fabio Mattiussi preprint

Long-term meditators with at least five years of daily practice described their most profound meditative experiences as involving stable states of body and identity transcendence, often characterized by non-dual awareness and a pervasive sense of unity. Their personal interpretations of consciousness tended to view it as universal rather than a product of the brain. These first-person accounts provide insights into advanced meditation experiences and the nature of consciousness, underscoring the value of qualitative research in this field.
