Lomilomi Massage with Fey
What is Lomilomi?
Lomilomi is a traditional and spiritual Hawaiian method of bodywork which incorporates long flowing massage techniques, gentle touch and an abundance of unconditional love. This type of massage assists one's own natural healing process in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual fields of the body.
Lomilomi creates harmony, centring, balancing, and nurturing, it allows for time to simply let go of the held physical and emotional tensions. It can shift physical and mental blockages and allow for greater vitality.
A person giving a Lomilomi body work uses hands, forearms and elbows to apply gentle and soothing, and invigorating flowing strokes across the entire body. This gets the blood moving and shifts any physical and energetic blockages.
Whilst technique and intent are important, the foundation for Lomilomi massage is Aloha which means unconditional love, which can induce profound physiological changes.
To native Hawaiian’s, spirituality and healing are one and the same. Traditionally total wellness is the balancing of the physical, mental, emotional and spirit of the person. The body has a beautiful intelligence when it comes to balancing holistically. There is incredible power in recognising what it needs, noticing one’s belief systems and opening to infinite possibilities of spirit.
The intent and focus of the giver is also a major part of Lomilomi massage/bodywork. An intent is an expressed and with conscious will and awareness, this directs the energy of the session. The receivers intent is discussed at the beginning of a session.
