“The KaHuna(healers) LomiLomi were masters of body manipulation and healing massage. They practiced their ancient art with a deep connection to nature, surrounded by ocean breezes, colourful sunsets and unpredictable volcanoes.”
The traditional Lomi Lomi massage healers connected with “spirit” and their touch communicated deep to the bones of the receiver. In a non invasive way they were able to focus on and disperse congested areas in the body by moving their hands in rhythmic dance like motions. The use of prayer (Pule),breathe ,(HA) energy (Mana) and intention in their massage work contributed to vibrant and healthy Hawaiian communities.
While Lomi Lomi is a massage it is also about reconnecting with spirit and it this combination that gives it such powerful potential for healing of each individual client. While it may be referred to as a spiritual massage the technique also has many practical and specific benefits. It breaks up calcium deposits and lactic acid, and relieves muscle spasms improving the health of muscles and associated blood and nerves. Thus greatly improving our circulation and helping to prevent strokes. It stimulates the lymphatic system to release waste products and this is also helpful after injury. True Lomi Lomi also works on an emotional level and after a session the receiver often experiences freedom from worry, anxiety, fear and other negative thought patterns .The true purpose of Lomi Lomi is to bring balance and a sense of well being of body, mind and spirit.
“Lomi Lomi massage is a respite from the outside world; a sacred experience where the massage table becomes an altar and divinity touches humanity”
