When I was 6 years old, I finished my adventure with kindergarten and as a reward, I received a burgundy card. On this burgundy card was my name and an engraved Maya the Bee. I took it home. My mom almost cried with happiness when she saw it. At first, I wondered what was so special about this item that made my mom so happy. I thought that probably because it has Maya the Bee engraved on it.
In elementary school, at the end of 1st grade, I received a green card this time. I took this card to my mom – it made her happy again. At the end of the sixth grade, my mom wasn’t as happy as before, but she was still glad that I moved on to the next grade.
In this way, I got used to receiving such cards and enjoying getting them.
When I went to work and received my first paycheck, I thought it would be nice to get something as a reward for this work. I went to a music store and started buying records with my favorite music. There were more and more records, and the shelves were bending under their weight.
Thus, from childhood to adulthood, taught to receive rewards in material form, I bought more items.
At some point, I realized that basically, my head needed these – cards, records, books. It was a way of rewarding and valuing myself, which my mom and school taught me. A way that made me feel happy only for a moment because soon I needed another reward. Then I realized that to be happy, I don’t really need them.
Motivations for participating in courses.
Usually, after completing each course, I receive a certificate confirming my achievements. Sometimes I meet people in these courses who are not particularly interested in acquiring new skills but come for another certificate, which serves as a form of reward for their participation.
There is nothing wrong with participating in a course to improve your self-esteem, it is important that we ask ourselves about our motivations.
Do we come to the course from the heart and the need to acquire new skills, or from the need to receive another certificate?
It is worth considering your motivations, as they can affect your experience during the course and your achievements after its completion.
Be the being you would like to be massaged by.
Lomi Lomi Massage aims to restore connection with the heart, regain inner balance, and help improve connection with another person in the spirit of Aloha.
As the Council of Elders said: “let the arms of Aloha embrace the whole world”.
If you are considering participating in a Lomi Lomi Nui massage course, ask yourself:
Is this really what you feel, is this really what you want?
The certificate is just a document, but the skills of using your hands and mindfulness during work with the person who came for a massage are more important.
Therefore, I recommend that when choosing a Lomi Lomi massage course, you are guided by the needs of your heart, not your head.
So that you become the being you wish to be massaged by.
Conducting Lomi Lomi Nui courses as a mission.
I would now like to look at Lomi Lomi massage because it is a shamanic massage, passed from teacher to student as a kind of spiritual transmission.
Can you imagine Hawaiian kahunas (shamans) issuing certificates confirming the completion of studies with them? For me, it is hard to imagine.
Before you decide to participate in a Lomi Lomi Nui massage course, it is worth considering whether it is a need coming from the depths of your heart, or rather it results from the need to have another document that values you as a competent person?
If you ask me, where is my certificate?
I will show you my hands and answer: – It is here. It is in the skills of using these hands. In my mindfulness that I give during work with the being who came to me for a massage, as well as in the impressions and experiences of my clients who go with this quality into the world.
My dream is for the Certificate to be in your hearts and hands, not on colorful paper.
When you are considering choosing a Lomi Lomi massage course, I wish you to choose it more from the need of the heart, not from the need of the head.
