Lomi Lomi is a traditional Hawaiian massage that has been practiced for centuries, passed down through generations of Hawaiian healers known as kahunas (Hawaiian Shamans) to create harmony and flow to a person being during times of important changes. The word "Lomi" means "to knead, rub, or soothe," and the repetition of the word emphasizes its intensity and importance. Rooted in Hawaiian philosophy, specifically Huna, the practice is based on the belief that the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected. The goal of Lomi Lomi is not just physical healing, but also emotional and spiritual harmony.
- Balancing of energy (mana): Lomi Lomi is rooted in the belief of life force energy. It aims to realign the body and spirit.
- Cleansing and renewal: The massage can feel like a reset, allowing clients to feel energetically lighter and more centered.
- Connection to self and nature: It reflects the Hawaiian philosophy of harmony and connection (Aloha spirit), helping individuals feel more grounded.
Lomi Lomi was traditionally used not just as a physical therapy but as a sacred practice, often part of rituals for physical, mental, and spiritual cleansing and healing. It is more than just a technique—it is a holistic approach that incorporates the energy of Aloha, which signifies love, compassion, and respect. The massage is essentially a holistic healing experience and for this to take place the intention of love is held by the practitioner throughout the treatment. This is the foundation of Lomi Lomi.
Description of Lomi Lomi Massage:
Lomi Lomi massage is known for its flowing, rhythmic strokes that mimic the gentle and powerful movement of ocean waves. Practitioners use their hands, forearms, and sometimes elbows in continuous, fluid motions over the body, often using long, sweeping strokes that cover large areas at once. This creates a deeply relaxing and meditative experience, promoting a feeling of connection and openness within the client.
Key aspects of a Lomi Lomi massage include:
Full-body focus: The practitioner may work on different parts of the body simultaneously, which helps to relax the mind and prevent the client from focusing on any single area of tension.
Spiritual and emotional balance: Lomi Lomi is about creating space for healing by releasing tension, not only in the body but in the mind and spirit as well. It's believed that the massage can unblock energy flow and restore harmony.
Use of oils: Generous amounts of oil are used to make the massage strokes smooth and uninterrupted, enhancing the fluidity and the sense of continuous motion.
Intuitive touch: Lomi Lomi therapists often use their intuition to guide the massage, responding to the unique needs of the client during the session, rather than following a fixed routine.
Overall, Lomi Lomi is an immersive experience that offers deep relaxation and an opportunity for personal transformation, making it unique among massage therapies. It can be a deeply emotional and restorative experience for those open to its holistic benefits.
Practical expertise, intuitive perception and empathic touch. These are the qualities I most prize and seek to embody in my practice.
A holistic Lomi Lomi massage requires a specific and practised technique, but the range of motion it incorporates allows me to bring to bear each of the three aspects I have described:
Identifying areas of tension and accumulated stress, applying the requisite pressure to release it and then using a mixture of strokes to ease mind, body and spirit back in to balance.
