• Lomi Lomi massage therapy was first practiced by the ancient Polynesian healers, which followed a traditional philosophy called Huna. This ancient Polynesian philosophy stated that every single thing in the world seeks harmony and love. Traditionally performed by healers called "kahunas" in conjunction with herbs, purifying, salts, and prayer, it was often shared among family members and passed from one generation to the next.
  
  The style of Lomi Lomi massage is characterized by its very large, broad strokes, as well as two-handed stokes that enlist the forearms and elbows. Lomi Lomi technique covers a broad area of the body and works the muscles often simultaneously to encourage the continuous flow of love and harmony, and to wash harmful thoughts, patterns, memories and behaviors out of the cells of our bodies to make way for more beneficial modes of thought. Once positive energy is permitted to flow unhindered, total body healing is accomplished.
  
  Before a Lomi Lomi massage begins, the massage therapist will say a quiet prayer to request effective healing. In some cases, the client is asked during the prayer to state their healing intention. It also isnt uncommon for the therapist to hum or chant during the Lomi Lomi massage. The Lomi Lomi prayer and the acknowledgment of the existence of a higher power are seen as integral to the overall effectiveness of the massage.
  
  Lomi Lomi produces positive effects, both physically and emotionally. Based on the notion that love is the source of overall well-being, this ancient technique works to cancel the negative effects of stress on the body. Lomi Lomi aids in the healing of our muscles and tissues, but also works on a spiritual level by letting the body know that it is loved.
  
  This is the key difference between Lomi Lomi and most other massage techniques. The kahuna has always worked on an intuitive level, sending a message of love from one being to the next through his or her hands. The care with which he or she works instills trust and the body can allow itself to receive the kahunas healing powers freely.
  
  This holistic form of massage therapy is designed to create alignment in the body, as well as mental purification, inner peace, and energy movement. It re-invigorates the body and restores its harmony with its surroundings and other people. Lomi Lomi is not targeted to any one group or ailment, so everyone can benefit from it.
