Lomi Lomi is a unique form of massage originating from Hawaii and Polynesia.
It is practiced on a massage table, with clients being covered by a sarong over the buttocks and groin/genitals. It is a full body massage with the hands and forearms being used to apply long flowing strokes. These strokes may go from full length, across the body, under the body and flow randomly being different for each hand.
The pressure applied is strong and broad giving the recipient space to relax, calm the mind and release tensions, emotions, pain, outdated belief systems and any holding occurring in the physical and energetic body. This gives us the space to step into our own healing.
The massage allows our natural flow and rhythm to be re-established. Anywhere where we are not flowing in our lives will manifest as blockage or tension being held in the body. This may be in muscles, organs, meridians or fascia, joints, skin, bones, tendons or ligaments. The flowing treatment allows the whole body to release held tension.
The native Hawaiian island people worked from their hearts with their intuition. This is an aspect that makes lomi lomi massage unique and special.
