Being More
The Association for Bodymindspirit Therapy (ABMST) is a professional association for all allied health professionals that value body, mind, spirit integration. Welcome.
Being More with the ABMST
There are some common qualities among practitioners who seek to integrate the body, mind, and spirit/soul into their professional work. They de-silo from particular labels and disciplines. In search of therapeutic skill, they become bridge-builders between diverse disciplines. They understand that wisdom lies at the intersectionality of many points of view. The idea of “be more” refers to this, as in be a counselor, but be more than a counselor; be a massage therapist, but be more than a massage therapist; be a scientist, but be more than a scientist; be a human, but be more than a human, and onward.
The ABMST is a non-profit professional association that fosters, develops, and supports those practitioners and processes.
Our Mission and Vision
The vision of the ABMSTis to benefit the world and improve lives by advancing the therapy, philosophy, research, and public education around body, mind, and spirit integration.
The ABMST accomplishes its vision by fostering professional development, public education, and acknowledging the interdependency of embodied bodymindspirit experience.

Finding Wholeness After Trauma: The Role of Alternative Therapies in Healing School Shooting Survivors
by Monica Hamer, CST-T and Founder of Crisis Support Therapy Partners
In the wake of a school shooting, the fabric of a community is often torn, leaving a complex web of trauma that extends beyond the reach of traditional healing methods. At CST Partners, we have committed ourselves to a holistic healing approach that transcends conventional boundaries, addressing not only the mind, but also the body and spirit. This approach is rooted in the profound principles of CranioSacral Therapy (CST), a modality that offers a comprehensive path toward recovery, addressing the immediate and long-term effects of trauma.
The Living Forces of the Land of the Dead
by Margarita Camarena, CMT, Reiki Master-Teacher Multidimensional Bodywork, Craniosacral Therapy, Medicinal Astrology and Indigenous Healing Arts
In the final section of her four-part series, Margarita will take you into the story of the true significance of Day of the Dead celebrations and the thick connection between the living world and the one beyond.
In this share, I will not talk about what is easily found about the Day of the Dead. Instead, I will share the Nahua mythology of the nine underworlds explaining tests that the soul of the dead needs to pass over a four years period to reach Mictlán; the final resting place.
May your heart find a deeper meaning for you when you read this information left by our elders, and may you not wait until you are on the other side to reflect on what you can do in the world of the living.
