Thai massage, one of the hot “new” massages offered by most spas, was actually developed by Buddhist monks in Thailand as a healing modality 2,500 years ago. It uses passive stretching and gentle pressure along the body’s energy lines to increase flexibility, relieve muscle and joint tension and balance the body’s energy systems. It is both deeply relaxing and energizing.

Here is a short video demonstration of the beautiful flow of Lomi Lomi (kahuna) massage performed by Tania Hodder of touchofaloha.org

In lomi lomi (or kahuna) massage there is no set format or sequence for the massage and no two massages will ever be identical.

The lomi lomi massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms as well as the hands. Some people have described this as feeling like gentle waves moving over the body. Another feature is that different parts of the body may be massaged at the same time, for example one arm or hand may be working on a shoulder and the other hand may be working on the opposite hip. Hands, forearms, knuckles, elbows, or stones may be used to stroke different parts of the body simultaneously. This assists the recipient in totally relaxing as it is impossible or at least extremely difficult for the brain to focus on the two different areas at once. By not working on areas in isolation a deep sense of balance and harmony is achieved.

Another major difference from other massage is that the recipient lies directly on a vinyl massage table with a small sheet draped over his body. This enables the practitioner to stroke the underbody without interrupting the flow of the massage. Following ancient Hawaiian healing principles, the practitioner uses special breathing techniques and hula dance movements to encourage the flow of energy. It is the “dance of massage,” and is as wonderful to give as to receive.
