There are a number of distinguishing features in the style and strokes used in Lomilomi.
As well as using the hands, the massage is given in fluid, rhythmic motion using the forearms in broad, flat strokes, soothing out tensions.
This has been described 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 hip.
This assists the recipient in a process of deep relaxation as it is difficult for the brain to focus on the two different areas at once.
Flowing over the body as a whole being, rather than working on areas in isolation, assists in a deep sense of balance and harmony to be achieved.
Whilst technique is important, the priority is respecting the body and mind, using intuition so the massage is the most appropriate for each person
....please don't ask about sexual or 'extra' service, beacause the answer is: NO!
