What is Lomi Lomi Kahuna Massage?

Lomi Lomi Kahuna Massage, also called ‘Loving Hands Massage’ is the traditional healing massage of ancient Hawai’i. Profoundly relaxing, it regenerates vitality, releases stress and tensions, calms and clarifies mind and emotions, restores body awareness and self-acceptance.

The ancient shamans of Hawai’i, the Kahuna priests, have passed down this sacred gift from generation to generation and it was used during Rites of Passage as a transformational and healing system.  This confers to Lomi Lomi its qualities of profound beauty and impact upon the recipient of the massage.

Lomi Lomi Kahuna Massage is an initiation, dance of energy, poetry in motion. It is a deeply healing, flowing and vibrant all body massage. ‘Lomi’ literally means ‘to rub’, ‘to massage’, ‘to weave’ or ‘to work in an out’.  The giver and receiver weave light, to awaken the whole being -body, mind, heart and soul- to the loving Spirit of Aloha.

In this unique and visually beautiful style of massage, the practitioner uses the whole hands, forearms, breath, Aloha, presence and bodyweight to create long fluid, flowing rhythmical movements and deeply connected seamless strokes. This creates a full loving contact to allow a greater communication through conscious touch and induce a deeply relaxing all body/mind massage. The energizing effects of these exquisite movements are combined with clear healing intent and are an invocation for positive changes on all levels.

The Hawaiian wisdom recognizes that states of tension and disharmony are the universal cause of distress and ultimately illness. Tension interferes with the free flow of Mana (life force energy or ‘chi’); when this energy is low or restricted, we feel tired, emotionally and physically exhausted, lacking energy, or generally not ‘happy’. When Mana flows freely, we are in balance, happy, confident, vibrant and healthy.

This is why Lomi Lomi was performed in sacred ceremonies and rituals in the temples of Hawai’i. Ceremonies are the key shamanic practices that robustly activate natural forces on all dimensions of the being. This gives Lomi Lomi Kahuna Massage its unique healing potential by opening the body, strengthen the Mana, allowing the recipient to safely discover, acknowledge and embrace all aspects of who they are.

This awareness can lead us to significant shifts, by releasing some of the old and present patterns in our lives that may not be serving us anymore.  Life-inhibiting tensions melt away effortlessly into life-affirming reassurance, motivation, gratitude and pleasure. Luxurious Lomi Lomi cleanses the body, opens energy channels and allows increased light to enter the bones, organs and tissues, soreness, held energy and any trauma in the body. The heart allows the flow of Aloha, unconditional love and acceptance of all that you are, which in turn invites a deep letting go on the physical, emotional, mental and energetic levels.

When receiving Lomi Lomi, we connect with our natural happiness, our wholeness and freedom of being, our birthright. Its oceanic rhythm embraces and nurtures us, and allows a cellular realization of oneness and the wonder of aliveness.

In this respect, we come to honor ourselves as a sacred unique and whole in the core of our being. In realising that there is nothing ‘wrong’ or unworthy in our innate being, there is tremendous source for self-love, joy, healing and celebration. As we receive and trust, we deepen our connection to ourselves, the Earth and the Cosmos. By learning to slow down, listen to our inner wisdom and integrate the experience of the sacredeness into our daily lives, we participate responsibly into our well being.

A Lomi Lomi Kahuna session is a respite from the outside fast paced world; a sacred experience where the massage table becomes an altar and divinity touches humanity. It is a mystical meeting that produces an altered state of consciousness and an incredible sense of well-being of body, mind and spirit, for the practitioner as well as the recipient, for it is in sharing Aloha that one truly receives its many blessings. Wave after wave of pure Aloha touch, this unconditional loving energy is generated by both and feeds the power of this massage into a compassionate, meaningful, kind, and trusting life experience.

Gentle, profound and gorgeous Lomi, we all need to experience its nurturing effect at least once in our lifetime, and surrender to our natural alignment.
