Step 1
Prepare the recipient for Lomi Lomi by having him lie face down directly on the massage table without a sheet underneath. Drape the client only with a small towel over the buttocks and between the legs.
-
Step 2
Begin with a silence. Then say a short prayer or blessing, asking for the appropriate healing to come to the recipient.
-
Step 3
Ask the recipient to state his healing intention. This is the recipient's goal for the Lomi Lomi treatment.
-
Step 4
Apply Lomi Lomi massage strokes to the recipient's body. Use broad, sweeping strokes administered with the hands, wrists and forearms. Move the strokes all over the body, rather than concentrating on one area.
-
Step 5
Massage more than one part of the body at a time. This prevents the brain from focusing on a single stimulation and promotes relaxation.
-
Step 6
Add some humming or chanting. Humming, chanting and breath work performed by the Lomi Lomi practitioner increase the energy flow between the therapist and the client.
-
Step 7
Learn to hula dance. Traditional Lomi Lomi practitioners include hula dance movements as they move around the table. These movements, like chanting or breath work, increase positive energy flow during the treatment.
