Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage Video - Volume 1
Lomi Lomi is an ancient Hawaiian healing art that combines movement therapy and guided meditation for a unique and therapeutic experience. The term "Lomi Lomi" literally means "to break up into small pieces," which reflects its purpose of releasing congested areas in the body through rhythmic movements. This form of massage, often referred to as "the dance of massage," blends therapeutic strokes to create a soothing and revitalizing touch. It can be seamlessly integrated with other modalities to enhance the mind-body-spirit connection essential for healing.
