Lomi Lomi
“When the body remembers its wholeness, the mind will follow!”
Kahu Abraham.
There are many different styles of Lomi Lomi, the style that I perform is also known as Temple Style Lomi Lomi or Kahuna bodywork. This form of massage has its origins in the culture, healing arts and spiritual tradition of ancient Polynesia. It was created by a great Hawaiian Kahuna; Abraham Kawai'i whose teachings focussed on the manifestation of the self, self-empowerment and bringing those who want it to a place of freedom, dignity and joy.
The core of Hawaiian bodywork philosophy is the belief that all knowledge is already present within the body and therefore the body has an innate self healing / self harmonising ability. Lomi Lomi can help the mind gain clarity, strength and inspiration when a person is going through stressful life situations or challenges and when one has difficulty adjusting to a new phase of life. It can also help you transform feelings of doubt, uncertainty and insecurity or feelings of being stuck when arriving at major crossroads in your life. Limiting patterns, behaviours, emotions and past trauma not only live in your mind, but are also stored as memories in the cells of your body. These negative cellular memories can cause the flow of energy throughout your body to become stagnated, creating tension and disease on a physical and mental plane. Lomi Lomi activates the body through a psycho-spiritual transformation process. By bypassing the busy mind and connecting with your inner wisdom on an energetic and cellular level, this work encourages your true self to step forward and be seen.
“Massage is one of the oldest and most powerful forms of healing, Lomi Lomi is one of the most profound forms of massage”.
The use of rhythmic massage movements brings your whole being into movement and invites you to surrender all mental and physical stress to the power of the movement that the practitioner performs in combination with Ha (conscious breathing), Mana (spiritual energy) and Pule (prayer). Space is created for letting go of beliefs and memories that sabotage you. You come into the present moment where the transformation process can begin.
The body is like a history book of your life, within it, not only your story but also the stories of your ancestors, embedded within the text of your DNA. Each long repetitive stroke of Lomi Lomi massage turns, as it were, a page, searching for that one paragraph, one sentence or one word that can shed light on whatever it is that is impeding you from being who you really are and stops you from living a more fulfilled life.
Lomi Lomi is performed to soothing music using long flowing strokes and warm scented oil that nurtures deep healing within your mental, emotional & spiritual bodies. It takes you on a journey within, where you connect with your authentic inner Self.
