Lomi Lomi Hawaiian Massage

Lomi Lomi is one of the most profound forms of massage. It is therapeutic, nurturing, thorough and extensive in its healing capacity.

So, what makes it so special what is it, how does it differ from other types of massage, and how does it work?
Lomi Lomi simply means MASSAGE. It is unique and sacred, and has been handed down through the ancient master healers of Hawaii (Kahunas). It has many different forms and techniques. The Hawaiian people view all aspects of the body as one, and believe that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all part of the “whole self”. They look at things in terms of energy flow, following the idea that a belief can block energy flow as much as muscle tension can. Lomi Lomi helps to release blockages whilst at the same time giving the energy new direction. The intent of Lomi Lomi is to free energy flow by relieving stress and tension in the body, and restore balance to mind , body and spirit. When healing occurs on one level it impacts on all levels.

A Lomi Lomi usually commences with a stillness between the practitioner and the client. The masseuse then works very intuitively. In this respect there is no set format or sequence for the massage, and no two massages will ever be identical. The massage is given in a fluid, rhythmic motion, using hands and forearms, working with the body’s natural flow and rhythm, as well as focusing on specific areas in need of healing. The practitioner works gently but deeply into the muscles, with continuous flowing strokes, totally nurturing the body and enabling the recipient to simply be. Different parts of the body may be massaged at the same time. This assists the recipient to totally relax, as it is extremely difficult for the mind to focus on more than one area. Full body and under body strokes help to make the body soft, and to promote fr4e and abundant life energy in the recipient.
