Hawaiian Lomi Lomi or “loving hands” is a holistic massage that acknowledges the mind, body and soul. This healing massage uses light touch and long sweeping movements across the whole body to imitate the motions of gentle waves. The rhythm of the massage is fluid and rhythmic, like a dance, to allow you to enter a state of deep relaxation.
In order to acknowledge the whole body, draping is usually minimal. You are uncovered aside from your private areas, and you can either be nude or wearing underwear if you feel more comfortable.
Sessions are 45 – 90 minutes to allow you to enter a deeper state of relaxation.
Lomi Lomi is based on the belief that we all hold energy, and aligns with the traditional ‘Huna’ principles:
- IKE – The world is what you think it is.
- KALA – There are no limits, everything is possible.
- MAKIA – Energy flows where attention goes.
- MANAWA – Now is the moment of power.
- ALOHA – To love is to be happy with.
- MANA – All power comes from within.
- PONO – Effectiveness is the measure of truth.
