Description
Course Description:
Lomi Lomi means …. “To break up into small pieces.” It also means the “Dance of Massage,” “Loving Hands Massage,” “Prayer in Motion” … implying a holistic, intuitive approach.
This is a 1500 year old technique that aims at releasing all PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL congestion in the body, with a full body massage.
It is known in Hawaii as the “Dance of Massage” because of its long flowing style and continuous rhythm and beat, accompanied by selected tribal music. The therapist and client will become entranced in a spiritual state. You will learn how to transform a loving touch into techniques for healing. The basis for Lomi Lomi is an integration of Mind – Body – Soul in a ritual of transformation and inspiration. The inspiration is from the Huna or “Pathway of life.” Unlike a N.M.T. clinical massage, Lomi Lomi calls for intuition, rhythm and flow, culminating in a therapeutic dance!
