LOMI MASSAGE & A STOVE TOP
LOMI LOMI IS AN ACIENT HAWAIIAN MODALITY. IT IS SERIOUS AND HEALING WORK. LOMI NOT ONLY HELPS THE CLIENT HEAL, IT CAN ALSO HELP THE PRACTITIONER HEAL AS WELL.
I WAS CLEANING MY STOVE TOP AND COULD ACTUALLY RELATE WHAT I WAS DOING TO HAWAIANN LOMI MASSAGE. SOUNDS STRANGE BUT IT IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF THIS WORK. ONE OF THE WAYS WE LIKE TO THINK OF LOMI IS:
LOMI IS FREEDOM WITHIN A FRAMEWORK OF STRUCTURE
IF YOU THINK ABOUT MOST SWEDISH MASSAGE, IT IS LIKE A MANDELA. WE WORK BETWEEN THE LINES. WE WORK A BACK, THEN THE LEGS, THEN THE NECK OR ARMS. YOUR CLIENT KNOWS, FOR THE MOST PART, WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO WORK ON NEXT AND WHEN IT IS TIME TO TURN OVER. I KNOW THIS IS A GENERALIZATION.
FOR MANY IT IS THE WAY WE WORK. IT IS PERFECTLY FINE TO WORK LIKE THIS. I DID IT FOR OVER 10 YEARS, BUT AFTER THAT LONG I FELT I LOST WHAT I THOUGHT MASSAGE SHOULD BE. THAT WAS WHEN I DISCOVERED LOMI.
WITH LOMI WE WORK THE ENTIRE BODY. WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO WORK A BACK, THEN AN ARM, OR MAYBE A LEG THEN GO BACK TO THE BACK OR LEGS. WE TRUST OUR HANDS AND INTUITION TO MOVE FROM ONE AREA TO ANOTHER TO HELP OUR CLIENT. I LIKE TO SAY LOMI IS FINGER PAINTING THE BODY.
PLAY WITH THIS THE NEXT TIME YOU CLEAN YOUR GLASS STOVE TOP.
