Lomi Lomi is a deep and rhythmical massage like waves rolling over the body. It works gently but deeply into the muscles using continuous flowing strokes totally nurturing the whole body. This massage can be as relaxing or as firm as you, the recipient, requests. The Hawaiians look at things in terms of energy flow, following the idea that an idea or belief can block energy flow as much as muscle tension can. Lomi Lomi helps release the blockages, whilst at the same time giving the energy new direction. Thus Lomi Lomi is not just a physical experience; it also facilitates healing on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels as well.
