What is Lomi Lomi – Hawaiian Bodywork?
Lomi Lomi, well known as Hawaiian Massage, has its origin in the Polynesian Islands. Lomi Lomi means to massage, to knead, to rub. The special benefits are a harmonization of the physical, emotional, and spiritual body and the dissolution of energy blockages. The harmony within oneself leads to harmony within community and nature. Rhythm, breath and music are essential parts of this work. Auntie Margaret Machado is the most well-known teacher of Lomi Lomi and the first to have taught it outside of the family. Her definition of Lomi Lomi is: The Loving Touch, the Union of Loving Hands, Heart, and Soul with the Source of all Life.
