Lomi Lomi Nui is the Hawaiian “temple-style” bodywork which was originally practiced
by the Ka Hunas (Hawaiian shamans) to transform & completely balance all aspects
of self to create harmony & flow in a person’s being, leaving a sense
of a person’s true, unique self and effectiveness in the community.
Being deeply connected to Nature, Hawaiian kahunas would use dance,
chanting and ritual with lomi lomi massage to inspire deep healing
and restore health, thereby promoting a happy and balanced community
with Aloha.
In different parts of the world it is also known as Ka huna massage, Aloha massage,
the massage of loving touch, “lomilomi massage”,
Hawaiian shaman massage, “the dance of life and breath from the heart”.
More than a massage, the ancient wisdom and Spirit of Aloha will guide,
heal and inspire you towards your true potential. It is an experience
that overwhelms the mind with sensation as the lomilomi therapist
uses intuitive movement, breathing, rhythm and focussed intention in long,
flowing strokes up, down, under and over the body.
This sacred Hawaiian healing can produce powerful spiritual experiences
and heightened states of awareness.
Lomi Lomi Nui massage begins and ends with prayer,
setting an intention for the individual’s healing and health in alignment
with their highest good. The kahuna massage therapist
then uses various massage oils, hands, elbows and forearms in dynamic,
deep movements that mimic the ebb and flow of the ocean.
In certain traditions, warmed stones are also used to enhance the healing
massage in Hawaiian lomi lomi style flowing movements.
More than a way to relax, this is a complete spiritual and physical ritual
that continues with internal and external cleansing.
The lomi lomi therapist focuses on blockages within the physical or energetic body, using breath, movement and intention to release and free you from anything
blocking the flow of your physical, emotional, spiritual or mental health, although always working within your own personal boundaries in the present moment.
