Hawaiian Bodywork is an ancient technique that is delivered through rhythmical arm and hand movements. It is often described as a nurturing, very relaxing, grounding, and energetic experience.
For centuries the ancient art of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage has been used as a powerful tool for maintaining a healthy way of life. The strokes are long and flowing, using hands and forearms, and giving the feeling of many hands on the body at once.
Traditionally Hawaiian Massage combines whole body rhythmic movement with chanting, incorporating deep breathing and application of different types of oils. In preparation for the Lomi Lomi massage, the recipient would undergo a deep cleansing process which included taking herbal preparations, sweats in the steam vents of the volcano and bathing in the mineral enriched ponds of Hawaii.
It is believed that receiving Lomi Lomi, allows the recipient to enter an extremely deep state of relaxation which helps bring clarity to the mind and awareness to limiting beliefs and emotions that can cause illness and disease in the body. The nurturing touch allows the receiver to connect and harmonize the mind, body and spirit, restoring balance and health.
While massage is generally thought of as a simple method to relax the mind and body, it has many other benifits. It is especially good for reducing stress, increasing circulation, and can help speed up recovery from illness. Lomi Lomi is thought to cleanse the muscle toxins that build up as a result of stressful living. Receiving a massage regularly can help you to maintain a healthy balanced life in the accelerated pace of today’s world.
Now you too can experience the art of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage.
