An ancient ritual.
A modern day healing practice.
“One of the most essential aspects of this traditional ritual is that Lomi Lomi is a modality of pure love. The work comes from the heart and through the hands resulting in healing at a level beyond comprehension by the mind; it is a movement of pure love and grace, even to observe a ‘treatment’ is to receive it… this is the way of Traditional Old Style Lomi Lomi. ”
Sherman Dudoit (Raman Das)
Lomi Lomi – to knead or make soft.
Long flowing strokes mimicking the rhythmic waves of the ocean. A deeply relaxing, hypnotic-like experience. The joyful receiving of life energy and loving, nurturing touch. Just some of the things you can expect from this traditional Hawaiian ritual.
In ancient Polynesia existed the healing practice of Lomi Lomi which means to “knead or to squeeze and to make soft”. Mothers would “lomi” their children from birth, paying particular attention to the infants stomach and feet, using primarily coconut oil - one of the most healing substances on this planet.
More than a relaxation tool, Lomi Lomi is a spiritual, philosophical and physical practice that can bring mind, body and spirit into balance.
Lomi Lomi has the power to create an altered state of consciousness and sacred experience – both for the giver and receiver. It works from the belief that memories are not just stored in the brain and mind, but also in every cell of the human body. The long, continuous strokes of Lomi Lomi are designed to help let go of its old patterns and behaviours which can often cause tension in the body.
Lomi Lomi’s potential for reconnecting and balancing the body, mind and soul is endless. Making it a regular part of wellness ritual can provide benefits in all aspects of your life.
Immerse yourself in the healing energy that is Lomi Lomi.
