“Old Style” Lomi Lomi combines an almost endless technique, with “the laying on of hands”, both in passive and active massage. It works gently, yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, rhythmic flowing strokes. The movements are often likened to the waves of the ocean washing over the body, hypnotically lulling the recipient into a state of pure relaxation and stillness.
Lomi Lomi in its traditional form is both sacred and holistic. The body is treated like a temple, sacred and honoured. The practitioner must have an open heart and is regarded simply as a “vessel” through which the mana or life force healing energy is able to flow through the heart and hands.
The massage is holistic in that it nurtures both body and soul. Through its rhythm and patterns it activates meridians, balances the chakras and releases energetic blocks, allowing the bodies own healing processes to take over. Central to Lomi Lomi is the belief that memories are not just stored in the brain, but also in every cell of the body. Lomi Lomi assists the body in letting go of old patterns that can cause both physical pain and tension as well as emotional distress.
With Lomi Lomi, the power of touch, rhythm and ancient wisdom come together to bring about healing at the deepest level. I feel very privileged to be part of the ancient tradition that is Traditional Old Style Lomi Lomi and am passionate about sharing this sacred, unique and heart opening form of massage with others.
