Full Body Massage in Benefits

[Le Spa Jasola]

Lomi Lomi massage, originating from Hawaii, is a traditional healing practice deeply rooted in the native Hawaiian culture. It is not just a physical massage but also encompasses elements of spirituality, rhythm, and the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Here are some key aspects of Lomi Lomi massage:

Techniques and Approach

Flowing Strokes: Lomi Lomi uses long, flowing, rhythmic strokes, often performed with the hands, forearms, and elbows, which can be both deep and soothing. The movements are meant to emulate the waves of the ocean, promoting relaxation and healing.

Full-Body Massage: Unlike some body massage techniques that focus on specific areas, Lomi Lomi often involves massaging multiple parts of the body simultaneously to increase the overall flow of energy.

Use of Breath and Intention: Practitioners often use their breath to maintain a rhythm and focus their intentions on healing. They believe that the practitioner's state of mind and energy are transferred to the recipient.

Minimal Use of Oils: While oils are used, they are typically minimal and natural, such as coconut oil, to allow for smooth, gliding movements.

Emotional Release: The holistic approach can lead to emotional healing, helping to release stored emotions and stress.

Spiritual Connection: It aims to restore balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit, connecting the individual to their inner self and the surrounding environment.

Experience

Environment: The setting for Lomi Lomi massage is usually serene, often accompanied by soothing music or natural sounds to enhance relaxation.

Therapist's Role: The therapist acts as a conduit for healing energy, using their intuition and connection to the recipient to guide the massage.
