“Touch the body in love. If your hands are gentle and loving, he will patiently feel the sincerity of your heart. His soul will reach out to you, and through you both the salvation of the Lord will flow.” Aunty Margaret Machado
The first visitors to Hawaii noticed and commented on this medical art. In 1803 Archibald Menzies wrote, “Several of the natives of Lomi Lomi have stationed themselves about us, and press upon our members, which we find on these occasions, most agreeable and pleasant, when gently conducted.” In the 1820s the first missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands found that the native healers were accurate in the diagnosis and treatment of their infirmities, and in repairing broken bones. But the tribes considered themselves to be Hawaiian and in 1893, after years of political upheaval, the new government banned all spiritual traditions, including medical arts, the study of the Hawaiian language and hula dancing. But sacred traditions are not dead; they are hidden and practiced in secret, only in the Hawaiian community (ohana), through “iki maka lihilihi a maka alawa”, that is, “doing with observation and insight”.
In 1973, Aunty Margaret Machado, a famous kupuna (major) from Big Island, pleased her family share it by teaching it to anyone who has had a sincere desire to learn Hawaiian or not. He felt that the ancient healing gift of Lomi Lomi was felt throughout the world. While Aunt Margaret was criticized by many in the Hawaiian community for revealing the secrets of Lomi Lomi, her work at Lomi Lomi led to a renewed interest in Native Hawaiian healing. The history of Lomi Lomi goes back to the beginning of Hawaiian history.
“You are correct in saying that Lomi Lomi is surrounded by hanging, but not circumscribed. Native Hawaiians say the true definition of Lomi Lomi is to connect with spirit.” It may be asked whether it is similar to the Swedish system; Aunt Margaret says absolutely no. He says this in a very different way. “Praying is a work. Every student first learns to pray to God.”
The similarities between the Lomi Lomi doctors once shared a common force and knowledge. That is, their ability to communicate with the bones of patients through soft touch through their tissues, while still being non-invasive and connecting everything with the spirit, says Maka’ala Vates, a Hawaiian medical expert.
The art of Lomi Lomi focuses on the accumulated areas found in the body and disperses them by moving the palms, thumbs, wrists and arms in numerous dance movements. For the purpose of healing, the kahuna also uses prayer, breath (ha) and energy (mana). The practice of Lomi Lomi was common in every Hawaiian community and contributed to a strong and healthy society.
Lomi Lomi literally means, “conde-conde.” Aunt Margaret, who is the oldest and most famous teacher of Lomi Lomi, has this definition of Lomi Lomi, which is: “Touched to love – the connection of the heart, hands and soul with the source of all life.” Students of Lomi Lomi learn to flow love from the heart, through the hands, to connect the recipient’s soul with massage. Healing is enhanced by love, love is admitted and love is given. The Oxford Dictionary definition of love is “lust, intense or passionate affection for someone or something”. Hawaii even more so; it also involves tolerance, forgiveness, acceptance, non-judgment, appreciation, compassion, respect and many other things. Lomi Lomi Suspendisse that very author.
To understand the depth of Lomi Lomi massage, it helps to understand the Hawaiian philosophy called Huna and how Huna philosophies relate to the body and healing. The fundamental assumption of Huna is that all things seek harmony and all things seek love. So how does this apply? Perhaps this can be better understood from one of the alternate names of Lomi Lomi, which is the “Hand” of pious massage. The reason for this is that it works gently but deeply on the muscles with continuous, flowing strokes, nourishes the whole body and, as the recipient will relax, give in and simply be. So, while technique is an important part of suspension and associated healing, much work is done through love; with the doctor’s focus on the client being deep and whole, using loving hands and a loving heart.
Here the highest energy flows, in long continuous, flowing strokes, combined with the most loving touch, relaxes the whole being, helping to release old beliefs, patterns and behaviors that cause limitations and that are stored in our cells. body They commonly think that our memories, beliefs, and programs are stored in our heads, in our brains. This is different. This memory and programming is stored in all the cells of our body.
Hawaiians look at things according to the flow of energy, suggesting that an idea or belief can interfere with energy as much as muscle tension can Lomi Lomi helps release blockages while at the same time giving energy a new direction. Therefore Lomi Lomi is not a bodily use; it also helps healing on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels. Hawaiians consider all aspects of the body as one and believe that the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual are all part of the “whole” self – when healing is done on one level, all levels are affected.
With a lack of harmony, the result is pain physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Illness is a state of tension that leads to resistance that hinders the movement of energy. This helps release Lomi Lomi and therefore facilitates the path to healing. At the physical level, through Lomi Lomi, stress and tensions are relieved stress, blood and lymphatic flow are aided and wastes and toxins are eliminated they are excited
So, what happens in the Lomi Lomi massacre? How is it done? A Lomi Lomi usually begins with a quiet time between the practitioner and the client, often with the practitioner’s hands resting gently on the client. In this stillness the healer will silently say a blessing or prayer asking for whatever healing needs to be done in suspension. Or even that the client may be asked to receive his intention for any healing. The therapist therefore works very intuitively with the client. In this case, there is no reason to put a mass or result, for it has always been suspended.
He is suspended in the fluid, making numerous movements using his arms rather than his hands. Some have said that it feels like light waves moving over the body; Another known fact is that the body is subjected to different parts at the same time. For example, one arm or hand can work on the shoulder, and the other hand can work on the opposite hip. This helps the recipient in all relaxation, as it is impossible or at least very difficult to concentrate in two places at the same time. By not working in separate areas, a deep sense of balance and harmony is created. As I said above, while the technique is great, the priority is to love the body, the view used is the “correct” suspension for the culprit. The client should not be fixed on the table as someone, but a being to restore harmony and balance. It is important to remember that a therapist is not a healer but a facilitator to healing.
Under body and full body shots also help to release energy, promoting a soft, free and abundant body. to flow life force into the recipient. According to the Huna philosophy, energy is also blocked in the joints. There are gentle stretches of the body and gentler rotations of the joints, so they are also incorporated to help release tension and aid the flow of energy. Again, not by forcing, but by feeling the level of resistance or this comfort. A practitioner in Lomi Lomi can also massage various points as a pulse and amplified force that also helps release blockages.
Dance work or hula movements, combined with the spirit of the worker are also important and integral aspects of Lomi Lomi. The reason for hula-type dancing around the table while getting a massage is not because it looks cute! Movements are all important in helping the energy flow within both the healer and the recipient and helping to keep the energy at a higher level. These combined with the breathing techniques provided by the therapist are important in helping the energy flow. Sharing the breath, the essence of the Creator or the universal energy – whatever name you like to call it – is an old Hawaiian custom and greatly increases the flow of energy again.
Because the doctor works intuitively, the suspension can be slow and very relaxed, or sometimes a little faster, and therefore more vegetates and vivifies the body. Sometimes the recipient can experience an emotional release as the suspension can release and change negative emotions, negative beliefs and other “stuff” that is stored in the cells of the body, with the healing effects of the suspension continuing long after the massage is over.
While Lomi Lomi is often referred to as a spiritual mass, it is also a practical and specific technique. It is, for example, effective in dissolving calcium deposits and lactic build up. This is done with various movements, such as circular thumb strikes, which are done directly on the floor in one count of two and three. Bigger and denser ankle strokes are used in the same rhythm, followed by gentle arm strokes and chopping.
In addition to the physical benefits of Lomi Lomi, there are emotional releases felt during and after the session. Recipients of Lomi Lomi treatment often experience insecure freedom, anxiety, fear and a host of other negative thought patterns. This freedom only comes when the doctor is aware of his responsibility to the client.
“It is a process that allows the patient to meet the doctor in the middle of their crisis so that healing can take place.” He says, “Wate.” “It is the Lomi Lomi physician’s responsibility to manage and treat each patient with the right intention using the correct treatment protocol based on their feelings. The purpose of Lomi Lomi is to restore someone in body, mind and spirit.”
In a genuine Lomi Lomi session the therapist is focused on divine energy and keeps his heart and mind clear to move through them as a conduit in the way of healing. Proper breathing and pure thoughts are important. According to Hawaiian thoughts, mana, or energy. Thoughts are combined with touch and spirit and transferred to the recipient. Therefore, the therapist’s thoughts must be focused on love and healing.
If something happens that interferes with the clinician’s ability to over their thoughts, then ho’oponopono is practiced. Ho’oponopono is a prayer for forgiveness and doing right. This will happen if we hurt another person or ourselves by thought, word or deed. Ho’óponopono “is a spiritual practice of doing right with yourself and with all others before God. The one who truly practices ho’oponopono is the one who takes a daily inventory of his thoughts. This practice is often performed in the evening as on the way.

Ho’opnopono is a spiritual practice that has almost been lost in the last few generations. It is a very traditional family based health maintenance system in which family conflicts and problems are resolved through pula (prayer). discussion, confession, repentance, mutual restitution, remission, relaxation and separation. Its ultimate goal is to “put it right”, put it right and restore the family members.
Most therapists come to Lomi Lomi after years of doing other types of massage and bodywork. It can take months of training and years of practice to truly master the technique. This is required by the practitioner for mental-clarity and emotional clarity and physical stamina. Many massage traditions teach the clinic to constantly protect him or herself from the negativity that may come from the client. Lomi Lomi teaches the opposite. A client is considered vulnerable, open and receptive to clinical energy, positive or negative. Lomi Lomi practitioners must learn to control their thoughts and trust their higher selves to direct positive energy healing to clients. Dedicated practitioners know that this is a continuous process of awareness and prayer.
A few months ago, a new client who had been concerned about her size for years was in tears at the end of a massage. He told me that for the first time in his life he was safe & beautiful Why do I do what I do? – He is why.
The ways of Hawaiian ancestors are drawn into the technological world; yet God’s first intention remains. A Lomi Lomi is a break from the outer sessions. My passion for Hawaiian healing and wisdom continues to grow and expand, and so my regular trips to my island home reconnect with the energy that feeds my soul. My desire is to expand the spirit of God and bring back so much energy and wisdom to make a piece of paradise here.
My use of the term “Aunty or Uncle” is a term of respect in the Hawaiian Islands, not a term of consanguinity.
Aloha Mai – I come with love.
