Lomi Lomi Massage

A Lomi Lomi massage is a therapy that was passed from generation to generation as a part of Hawaii’s native healing philosophy called Huna. According to the Huna every person and humanity needs to seek love, peace and harmony and even the name as it stands “Lomi Lomi” translates as a “loving hand”. Because it is not only a physical experience the effect of the Lomi Lomi massage shows healing impact on mental, emotional and spiritual levels as well. A therapist is considered to be not as a healer but as an intermediary and his aim is to forward the energy of love and harmony to the patient. All this is happening by continuous flowing strokes combined with a loving touch and it is performed gently yet deeply into the muscles with fluent, rhythmic motions. The massage therapist use hands, knuckles, elbows and forearms. Sometimes hot stones might be used. Your legs, knees, arms, elbows, wrists and fingers might also be manipulated. One of the aspects of the Hawaiians culture is that the human body is understood in a unity of the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional part. If the only one part is affected in any way, the whole body is influenced by that and is lacking the harmony. The outcome is a pain or illness as a state of tension, which eventually leads to resistance of our body. And that’s the right time when the Lomi lomi massage should take place to restore that balance by unblocking the energy flow. The beauty of this therapy is that it is considered not only as a holistic massage but it can be also concentrated on specific ailments and problems.  This way anyone can benefit from it.
Another feature of this type of massage is that two different parts of our body might be massaged at the same time. This is done to help the patient’s relaxation and to achieve a deep sense of harmony because it is very difficult for human’s brain to fully concentrate on two different areas at once.
