"When we meet with love, we shall be whole"
 - Hawaiian Proverb -

Almost two years ago, I was blessed with receiving my first session of Hawaiian massage, also known as Lomi Lomi.  What I came to understand since that first session was how beneficial Lomi was in stripping away the layers of emotional armoring that I thought would never leave me.  I became so impressed by the sessions I received that in February of 1999, I went to Hawaii to train in Lomi Lomi and have now included it with much success in my healing practice.

There are different forms of Lomi Lomi, each originating from different families.  Until recently, Lomi Lomi was only passed down from one generation in a family to the next.  The form of Lomi that I practice includes the use of breath, sound and movement.

The movement, or dance, is Tai Chi in nature and very graceful.  This dance in combination with the breath, has the benefit of sustaining the Lomi practitioner through long sessions.  In ancient times, it was not uncommon for Lomi sessions to last for hours or even days.  Today, the average session runs about two hours.

Lomi Lomi is a beautiful and sensual form of massage that re-weaves areas of the body that were once disconnected.  During the Lomi session, I enter into a space of one-ness with the client.  As I breath with the client, there seems to be a feeling of flow between us where time loses meaning and only the moment exists.  Places where shame or other emotional distress are held are gently and lovingly reintegrate with the whole person

Lomi Lomi is also a way of life.  It is about reaching down into the center of our being and bringing up our life force, letting it flow through our entire bodies which then flows into our lives.  With Lomi Lomi, we can open up such that our innermost selves can surface and express.

Our relationship with our bodies is perhaps the most intimate relationship we'll ever have with anything.  And yet, many of us are numb to what's going on with our bodies much of the time.  How can we be truly present and aware in our relationships with other beings on this beautiful planet when we're numb to ourselves?  Lomi Lomi can help us reconnect with our bodies in a deeper and more intimate way.

Receiving a Lomi session is like being loved and nurtured in way that, for some people, hasn't been present since early childhood, if at all.  The sacred space created for the session is like a womb securely embracing a new being, and readying it for birth.  In this place of gestation, old physical and emotional patterns are released, opening up a space for new, healthier patterns to take root and grow.

 

What is a Lomi Lomi Session like?

Sanctity surrounds and permeates your Lomi Lomi session from the time that you make your appointment until sometime after the session is completed.

Sometime after you make your appointment and before you arrive for your session, I will connect with your soul to get an initial idea of what you might be needing from the session.  This connection aids me in "setting the energetic space" of the healing temple.  Sometimes at this point, I may also call in some particular guides to do a special energy session to run while we do the massage.

When you arrive and have made yourself comfortable, we will discuss what your intentions are for the massage.  Generally, intentions include: what you wish to receive from the massage, what you would like to release which no longer serves you and what you would like to transform.  It is also ok to not have any concrete agendas.  I often have clients that are just open to receive whatever good the Universe has for them next.

After stating your intentions and before I leave the room to allow you to get undressed and comfortable on the table, we connect with each other's hearts and the four elements to enhance the healing space even more.

Finally, after the massage, I'll ask you to share your experience.  This allows you time to come back to earth and integrate your experience before re-entering the world.  This also helps you to bring to awareness any feelings, thoughts, memories that you may have experienced during the session.
