" Hi! I’m Kelly with Healthy Body Massage in Orlando, Florida and I’m here with expertvillage.com today to discuss with you the philosophy of Lomi Lomi massage. This massage is very ancient and sacred tradition. It has been passed down through the generations of Hawaiian healers who were called the Kahuna. What they would do with this massage is they would take someone that was at the age for their right of passage to become an adult and they would have this sacred ceremony for them or they would have them lie on the table and receive the session, two to four Kahuna or healers at a time. The strokes of the massage are applied with the forearm and the elbow and they are very fluid. They rhythmically cover the entire area of the body and the reason for this is that in order to achieve an intense relaxation, we confuse brain."
