Why is Lomi Lomi the best?

Swedish is the basis of all massage-which is the basic massage that all therapists are taught. It is the first step to massage. Basically you have been getting a basic massage. It is the first step of many modalities.

Now to explain Lomi Lomi to you. Have you ever tie dyed a shirt. Twist it up tight and dip it in the dye. Not all of the dye penetrates the fabric. Same concept with the muscles. Muscle tension blocks energy flow. Lomi Lomi, Esalen, Tandem release these blockages. So you get the massage drunk without the massage hangover.

Now Lomi Lomi is not just about the physical it is about the emotional. Everything is connected. When we are sad we ache physically all because our emotions make us ache.

We feel our emotions and did you know it is believed that 80% of all intial dr visits are caused by our emotional turmoil. It is also believed that 85% of diseases are directly affected by our emotional status, sadness, stress, overwhelming feelings. Illness is a state of tension.

I hear constantly that clients minds are always racing they never seem to feel peace never feel whole or complete. Like something is missing. I honestly think as a society we are disconnected and imbalanced. There is no harmony in life or interally.

I am not saying the Lomi Lomi or any other massage will bring this to you. But I am sure it is part of the puzzle that will help it along. Reconnecting and balancing is up to you. It is a whole life event with water intake, good food source which includes lots of fruits and vegtables, exercise, sleep all of these things come into play.

Because the practitioner works intuitively, a massage may be slow and very relaxing or at times it may be a little faster and therefore more invigorating and enlivening to the body. Sometimes the recipient may experience an emotional release as the massage can release and shift negative emotions, negative beliefs and other "stuff" that has been stored in the cells of the body, with the healing effects of the massage continuing long after the massage is over.

The massage can be done by one person or by two or more people working together. Having two people massaging tends to send to recipient into an even deeper level of relaxation as you really can"t focus on four hands doing different things - it really is a blissful and fairly mindblowing experience

Is Lomi Lomi Sensual?

Touch is a very basic human need. Skin hunger is as real as stomach hunger, yet it is so restricted by our society and equated with sex, that we have lost the ability to nurture through touch.

Most of us have be taught to express intimacy only in sexual relationships. But intimacy doesn't necessarily include sex, any more than sex necessarily involves intimacy.

Our bodies were designed for sensual enjoyment through touch but we often confuse wonderful sensual feelings with sexual acts.

Lomi Lomi breaks the barriers to touch and allows a new awareness of feeling, caring, pleasure that our bodies were meant to express to one another.

Please remember this does not mean any extra activites will occur. Therapists do not massage the genital area during Lomi Lomi Massages
