Healing Temple Massage Lomi Lomi is an ancient healing tradition native to Hawaiian islands. Lomi Lomi simply means to massage or to weave. As with many ancient healing traditions, it is conducted with a prayer and intention healing both body and soul.
This massage is gently flowing like those waves in the surrounding ocean bringing peace to both body and soul. Sacred Lomi flows and dances from one end of the body to the other, embracing and integrating both sides of the body and both sides of the mind. The circular flowing patterns make it difficult for the client to follow, which invites their mind to let go. When the mind lets go, the body can do the same, and in the letting go, the body is able to receive on a deeper level.
Lomi Lomi “Loving Hands” massage works gently yet deeply into the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, totally nurturing the body and, enabling the recipient to relax, give in and simply be. So whilst technique is an important part of the massage and associated healing, much of the work is done by love, with the focus of the practitioner on the client being deep and complete, using loving hands and a loving heart.
This flowing with total energy, using the long continuous, flowing strokes, combined with the very loving touch, relaxes the entire being, assisting in a letting go of old beliefs, patterns and behaviours that cause limitations and which are stored in the cells of our body. People generally think of memory, beliefs, our “programming”, as being stored in our head, in our brain. This is not the case, this memory and other programming is in fact stored in all the cells of our body.
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. The Hawaiians view all aspects of the body 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.
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 helps release this and therefore facilitates the road to healing. On the physical level, through Lomi Lomi stress and tension are relieved, blood and lymph flow assisted and the elimination of wastes and toxins stimulated.
Lomi ‘Ili’ili (Hawaiian Hot Stone Therapy) Treatment is a unique style of hot stone massage. The Hawaiian word ‘Ili’ili literally means “flat pebble in motion”. The word pebble rather than stone describes a treatment that is warm, gentle and flowing. These heated stones will incorporate the same fluid, dance-like strokes that embody our regular Lomi Lomi session, yet adding the soothing touch of mother earth caressing your skin. Allow your body to relax into this wonderful massage as the warm stone becomes an extension of your therapists healing hands.
