Lomi Lomi massage, also known as "Lomi Lomi Nui" or "Hawaiian massage," is a traditional healing practice originating from Hawaii. It's characterized by long, flowing strokes using the forearms, elbows, and hands of the therapist. The term "Lomi Lomi" itself means "to knead" or "to rub" in Hawaiian and reflects the rhythmic and dance-like movements involved in the massage.

Key features of Lomi Lomi massage include:

Flowing Movements: Therapists use long, continuous strokes that glide over the body, mimicking the ocean waves and promoting relaxation.

Spiritual Element: Lomi Lomi Body massage is often seen as a sacred healing practice that integrates physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.

Use of Forearms and Elbows: Unlike Swedish massage, which primarily uses hands and fingers, Lomi Lomi therapists also use their forearms and elbows to apply broader pressure and cover larger areas of the body.

Energy Flow: Practitioners believe that the massage helps to release blockages in the body's natural energy flow, promoting healing and harmony.

Healing Intent: Beyond physical relaxation, Lomi Lomi massage aims to facilitate emotional and mental balance, encouraging a sense of peace and well-being.

Cultural Context: Lomi Lomi massage traditionally incorporates Hawaiian beliefs and practices, honoring the connection between body, mind, and spirit.

Overall, Lomi Lomi massage is valued not only for its physical benefits but also for its ability to promote relaxation, emotional release, and a deeper connection with oneself.
