The Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Nui massage is a transformative ritual for healing. It is a shamanic practice from the Kahuna, the shamans of the old Hawaiian culture.
It is an treatment to let go and therefore embrace the new.
It is a intense and deeply relaxing full body massage.
The techniques are characterized by long strokes and much use of the forearm for massage and less of hands and fingers. Much emphasis is given to the joints and gentle stretches make an important
part in the massage, because the Hawaiian understanding is that that blockages in the energy flow mainly manifest in the joints. Compared to the Abhyanga it can be more dynamic and the movements
are more dance-like.
Duration is circa two hours.
This massage is an oiling of the whole body after the Ayurvedic tradition. The use of plenty of oil itself has a very soothing effect and contributes greatly to the healing power of this
treatment. I use good local olive oil or, as traditionally used in India, sesame oil.
Repetitive whole body strokes can cause a hypnotic relaxation and deep grounding into the body. Like the Lomi Lomi this treatment can facilitate a big reset for the nervous system and rekindle a
deep love for oneself and one’s body.
Duration is circa two hours.
