What makes lomi lomi massage so special is the its roots. A unique healing massage originating from the Masters of Hawaii. The depth of Lomi Lomi comes from comes from Hawaiian traditions called Huna and how they relate to massage and healing.
A principle of Huna is that everything seeks harmony and everything seeks love. Lomi Lomi’s name means "Loving Hands" massage. The reason for this is that it works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes. It bases its belief on “being” that means the therapist is to just “be” and the work is done with the focus of the practitioner on the client being deep and complete using loving hands and an open accepting heart.
Massage strokes are flowing and with total energy in long continuous no stress movements that assist in a letting go of old patterns that cause limitations. People generally think of our memory "programming", as being stored in our head, in our brain. This is not the case in the Huna beliefs which theorize the basis of Lomi Lomi’s practice as this programming is in fact stored in all the cells of our body.
The Hawaiians see the body in terms of energy flow, following the idea that a belief can block energy flow as much as muscle tension can. Lomi Lomi helps release the blockages, at the same time giving the energy new direction. Lomi Lomi massage doesn’t have to be just a physical experience; it also facilitates healing on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels as well. The Hawaiians view all aspects of the body as one and when healing is effected on one level, all levels are affected.
Lomi Lomi massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms as well as the hands. Some people have described this as feeling like gentle waves moving over the larger sections of the body at once. By not working on areas in isolation a deep sense of balance is felt.
The massage can be done by one therapist or by two or more therapists working together. Having two people massaging tends to send to recipient into an even deeper level of relaxation as you really can’t focus on four hands doing different things. Four Hand Lomi Lomi is the ultimate state of bliss and a fairly mindblowing experience.
