Thanks

Hi and welcome to MassagePlanetL, all the way from South Africa!

I have been meaning to post a reply with some Lomi Lomi threads we have on the forum, but didn't have the time until now. I do hope you don't feel slighted.

I don't practice Lomi Lomi, but I have been interested in it for quite some time now, and hope you'll tell us a bit more about how you practice and your work in general.

Until then, a few threads (and I hope to see your own posts added to each, since you have experience in the field! ):

Lomi

I also work with Lomi. I wouldn't say I specialize in it, but I do two versions, Temple Lomi and Aunty Margaret's Lomi. What I do the most of is what I call Integrative massages. These combine the best moves from many of the things I do. If someone comes in and wants a general massage, they get some Swedish, some Temple Lomi, some Aunty Margaret Lomi compressions, maybe some Esalen. Whatever they need, they get.

I've found that the styles of Lomi that I have learned are completely integratable into anything else I am doing. There are very few people that come in asking for Lomi or anything specific. If they ask for something specific, it is usually Deep Tissue (and I use a lot of Lomi moves there as well).

I love the Lomi as it gets me thinking with my forearms instead of my hands. I can do many effleurages with my forearms instead of my hands. When I need compressions, my forearms are there. It has gotten to the point that when I do Esalen, I am using my forearms as much as anything. So, yes, I love the Lomi training I have had.

I do Temple Lomi two days a week at a local spa. It's a beautiful massage and just plain fun to do. Not to mention it makes for a great workout. So while I don't really "specialize" in it, I am one of the few practitioners in town and am known for it. I do about 4-6/ week.

Question for you all.

I have always gotten deep tissue / energy work and love the results but am interested in Lomi lomi as it looks so wonderful to receive all that flowing energy.

My question; Is this massage more of a relaxing type of session as opposed to getting in there and working specific muscle groups? I'm so used to "allowing" my MT into where ever the work is needed, but when I watched the Lomi video it looked as if one could drift off into an another world should you care to go.

Enquiring minds and all that....

Sorry for previous post as I think I found an answer after looking in another link.


Otherwise, "...cascading waves lulling you into a meditative state-of-bliss."

Who could ask for more than that!!!! :grin:
