Hi, there. I'm Sundae with Natural Sundae. Have you ever wondered what a lomi lomi massage
is? Well, I can tell you. Now, lomi lomi is actually a word in Hawaiian that means massage,
so it's very indicative of what it is. It's a massage in Hawaiian. It was actually started
by the early Polynesian settlers, and it was practiced by the healers -- the master healers
of Hawaii. Now, lomi lomi massage has actually a basis of belief that is formed through the
theory that love and touch and attention can release blockages no matter if they're physical
blockages in your muscle or emotional blockages. Now, the alternate name for lomi lomi is actually
called healing touch massage or loving hands. Now, this means that there are actually two
parts of the belief that go into a loving hands massage or lomi lomi. The first part
is the hands part, of course. It's the physical manipulation of the soft tissue, which means
muscles, tendons, and connective tissue -- of course, fascia as well. But the second
half is the love part. Now, when the practitioner focuses all his or her love and attention
upon the client, that is a way to not only release physical blockages in the muscle,
but emotional blockages as well. And in this type of massage, it is believed that old patterns,
old habits, old behaviors are not only stored in the mind, but they are actually physically
stored in the cells of the body. So they are able to be removed through the physical manipulation
of the cells. So lomi lomi massage, again, was brought over to Hawaii by the ancient
Polynesians and practiced by the master healers of Hawaii. It's based on loving touch, and
that loving touch can remove not only physical blockages in your muscles, but also emotional
blockages -- that layer in your life -- that you need to correct before you can have a
full and balanced life. I hope we've learned a little bit about lomi lomi massage today.
