Hawaiian LOMI -LOMI Massage

The Hawaiian look at things in terms of energy flow, believing that an idea or belief can block energy flow as much as muscle tension can. Lomi - Lomi  massage helps release the blockages, whilst at the same time giving the energy new direction. Thus Lomi-Lomi  massage is not just a physical experience; it also facilitates healing on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels as well. The Hawaiians view all aspects of the body massage  as one and believe that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all part of the "whole" self - when healing is effected on one level, all levels are affected.

Lomi-Lomi  massage is a healing art that is indigenous to the Hawaiian Island and has existed for many centuries. Through all forms of  Lomi-lomi massage therepy are simpl alternative means to the Early Hawaiians is essential to a comprehensive approach to the art if Lomi-Lomi massage. Hawaiian LomiLomi is spiritual in both essence and methodology. In ancient times, the Hawaiian people existed is a society based on deep spiritual values. Within the social framework, kahunas were revered specialists endowed the divine gifts

which were passed in within the bloodlines of chosen families. The word huna literally means secret and kahunas were keepers of powerful secrets which could heal or harm an individual, depending on the intention. Within the expansive realm of knowledge, Lom-Lomi massage was one of the many highly specialized forms of service provides  those in need. Originally it is said to have been a treatment reserved only for royalty. In the last few decades, with renewed interest in Hawaiian, there has been a cultural revival and Lomi-Lomi massage is now being shared with the rest of the world.

Lomi-Lomi massage practitioners are trained in ancient Hawaiian beliefs regarding healing and reverence for life, and through a routine that is the embodiment of power and grace communicated through effective body mechanics. Effective use of the body's physical power is employed while maintaining flow and grace through rhythmic healing strokes.
The physical benefits of Lomi-Lomi massage relate to the circulatory and nervous systems as well the muscles of the body. Through applied movements, blood flow is increased, improving circulation and nourishing muscle tissue. Overall body metabolism is enhanced as spasms decrease and toxins are flushed out of the system.

The relaxing and restorative effects of Lomi-Lomi massage are obvious. On a subtler level, Lomi-Lomi massage must be administered with a pure and loving touch. It is a sacred, praying work. The Lomi-Lomi massage practitioner is but an instrument of a higher force which works through his or her hands. As therapists, our approach need always be humble, compassionate and focused; loving each body as if it were our own and constantly blessing it through our touch.

When harmony is lacking the effect is pain - physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Illness is a state of tension, which leads to resistance which blocks energy movement. Lomi Lomi  massage helps release this and therefore facilitates the road to healing. On the physical level, through Lomi Lomi massage  stress relife  and tension are relieved, blood and lymph flow assisted and the elimination of wastes and toxins stimulated.

So, what happens during a Lomi -Lomi massage? How is it performed?  A Lomi- Lomi massage usually commences with a stillness between the practitioner and client, often with the practitioners hands gently resting on the clients back. In this stillness a connection is made. The lomi-lomi  massage  practitioner then works very intuitively with the client. In this respect there is no set format or sequence for the massage and no two massages will ever be identical.

The massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms as well as the hands. Some people have described this as feeling like gentle waves moving over the body. Another feature is that different parts of the body may be massaged at the same time, for example one arm or hand may be working on a shoulder and the other hand may be working on the opposite hip. This assists the recipient in totally relaxing as it is impossible or at least extremely difficult for the brain to focus on the two different areas at once. By not working on areas in isolation a deep sense of balance and harmony is achieved. As I said earlier, whilst lomi-lomi massage  technique is important, the priority is loving the body, using intuition so the massage is "right" for the client. The client on the table is not viewed as someone to be fixed, but a being to be returned to harmony and balance. It is important to remember that the practitioner does not heal but is the facilitator for the healing.  Lomi-Lomi massage in London. call London Tantra massage 075 9002.9003
