Lomi Lomi
In the Hawaiian language, lomi lomi means 'to massage' or 'to knead'.
It can also mean 'to work in and out' or 'to weave'.
Also, referred to as 'loving touch'
as it is meant to be a nurturing, healing practice done with love and good intentions.
Lomi lomi s a type of massage long practiced in Hawaii.
Rooted in Huna, a Hawaiian philosophy centered on achieving harmony in mind, body and spirit.
Lomil lomi aims to promote relaxation, improve circulation,
address muscle pain and other physical ailments, and provide spiritual and emotional benefits,
including the relief of fear, anxiety and other negative emotions.
One of the goals of lomi lomi massage is to clear blockages in the body's natural flow of energy through the body.
As in traditional Chinese medicine,
energy blockages are thought to contribute to problems in physical, emotional, and mental health.
The Lomi Lomi Massage
Although practitioners use a variety of techniques and tailor each treatment to the needs of the client,
lomi lomi typically involves rhythmic, flowing massage strokes which help to
clear blockages in the circulation of energy through the body.
Lomi lomi massage uses the heels of the hands to work the muscles
and the gentle glide of the fingertips to work the lymphatic.
There is no set format or sequence in lomi lomi;
no two massages are the same, just as no two people are the same.
Instead, therapists work intuitively to meet the needs of each individual person.
Draping During a Lomi Lomi Massage
With the long, flowing massage strokes that run the length of the body,
lomi lomi massage traditionally involves less draping than other types of massage.
Most massage therapists in spas and health clinics, however,
provide more draping for clients, and will only expose the area being worked on.
Clients should be prepared to show a bit more skin during lomi lomi than other massages.
This allows the therapist to perform the full body strokes without interrupting the flow.
Your privacy and dignity will be respected at all times
