Spa-smallLomi Lomi is an ancient massage method, derived from the Hawaiian Islands.

This method and the characteristics of this massage are based on a very old tradition of hundreds of years ago.

Ιn ancient Polynesia, massage Lomi Lomi, and became popular when the conquerors arrived in 1820, they imposed their own culture and the Polynesian civilization received strong attack, so this massage was being practiced with absolute discretion in a closed cycle. Thus the ancient form of Lomi Lomi was protected and its content was transmitted precisely in absolute secrecy by Shamans healers, called Kahunas, only to those who had talent and discipline in the healing art of massage.

The philosophy of this massage form is that the therapist or as he /she is called differently “Kahuna” is simply an instrument of nature, who manages the energy from the universe or “Mana” which enters into him and then distributes it over the body of the receiver  for therapeutical purposes. It is simply a guide-mediator of therapeutical efficacy.

The human being is the creation of four forms: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

The ancient method of this Hawaiian massage is more than just a cure, as the effect doesn’t only stop at the physical level but continues in the forms mentioned before.

Apart from the body treatment, when the treatment occurs in any of these forms, then all the rest is filled and balanced.

Past experiences, standards and beliefs are accumulated and stored in the cells of our body and can block the flow of energy.

The ancient form of massage Lomi Lomi combines an endless technique, using widely forearms and also the palms and fingers. It includes constant long, rhythmical, sweeping movements with liquidity, which are similar to sea waves. These movements clean and remove the negative energy from the body, “unblock” the flow of energy, the chakras, allowing the therapist and receiver be refreshed.

According to the Hawaiian philosophy called Huna, everything in the universe is looking for Love and Harmony and this tries to transmit the practitioner to the receiver during the massage, using other than technique, also  intuition and intention.

Τo achieve this, the therapist practices every day meditation and prayer.

Another feature of this massage is that different parts of the body are worked together.

For example with one arm or hand, the therapist can performed massage on the shoulder, while the other hand can at the same time work in the hip area. This helps the receiver to relax completely since it is impossible or at least extremely difficult for the brain to concentrate on two points simultaneously as to achieve balance, peace and harmony.
