Chapter Inc.How does Lomi differ from other forms of massage?

Sacred & Healing

Lomi Lomi begins with stillness between the practitioner and the client. In this stillness a connection is made and a safe environment created allowing the client to relax and let go. The practitioner opens him/herself up to universal energy and love and quietly says a blessing asking for whatever healing is needed to take place during the massage. The practitioner tunes into the client's body & energy field and works intuitively with an open heart and loving hands.


Holistic & Nurturing
Lomi Lomi is holistic in its nature with the whole body being massaged. The back, front, face, arms and feet all receive healing. During a Lomi Lomi massage the practitioner uses hands and forearms to move in a rhythmical and fluid motion over and across the body mimicking the ebb and flow of the ocean. Nurturing and loving in its nature Lomi Lomi is profound and healing with the effects of the massage lasting long after its completion.

Sarong draping
Another way which Lomi Lomi differs from other forms of massage is that the client lies directly on the vinyl of the table instead of lying on a towel. Most of the client's body is exposed apart from a sarong which is used to maintain modesty. This allows for uninterrupted long flowing strokes to move over, across and under the body. With continuous flowing strokes, breath and intention the practitioner gradually peels away layers of stored tension, shifting negative emotions and clearing energy blockages to restore balance and harmony throughout the entire being.
