The forest has an extraordinary healing power for me. Since I moved right next to the forest and fell in love with walking through it, forest medicine has become my favorite form of meditation. In difficult life situations, when I feel sad or have a bad day, an hour-long walk in the forest can completely free me from worries. Why do I mention the forest?
I mention the forest because its quality reminds me of the Hawaiian goddess Laka, who symbolizes vegetation, forests, and their healing energy. During the ceremony before the Lomi Lomi Nui massage, support and care from the goddess Laka are requested to take care of the person lying on the table and help them in the healing process. The goddess Laka guides them through the transformation process during the massage, helping them realize their intentions.
Sometimes, to feel better, we need to feel worse.
Once, a woman who participated in my Lomi Lomi massage course called me. She told me the story of her client, who felt very bad after the Lomi Lomi massage and blamed her for probably being harmed by the song she sang during the massage.
Where did this client draw such conclusions from?
It turned out that she talked to her shaman, who suggested that it was precisely this song that was the cause of her unpleasant feelings.
Belief in the power of certain things makes them manifest in our lives. If we believe something is true, it simply happens.
What happened with my student’s client only proves that she did the best massage she could do.
The purpose of the Lomi Lomi massage is not to make us feel great immediately after it is performed. It aims to guide us through the transformation process. Sometimes this process requires our body to cleanse itself.
This probably caused the client to feel bad after the massage, but later she could feel much better, noticing something within herself that required attention and love.
The incident with my student’s client only shows that she performed a massage that triggered the healing process. The Lomi Lomi massage moves and initiates the transformation process, which is sometimes not pleasant. In this way, it helps us notice something that calls for our attention and love.
Where there is a lack of love and presence, there is emptiness and fear.
Therefore, where there is a lack of love and attention, it simply needs to be given, which in itself is transformative. This was probably also the case with this client.
The Lomi Lomi massage is about giving presence, attention, and love, not about extracting energy or doing anything wrong. It is simply unconditional love and acceptance. Therefore, I wish you to experience a touch full of love and acceptance.
I believe that the Lomi Lomi massage can be a very healing experience if we approach it with openness and trust in the process. We will not always feel better immediately after the massage, but it is important to give ourselves time to experience what is happening in our body and mind. After all, the Lomi Lomi massage aims to enable us to experience transformation and deepen our connection with ourselves.
I encourage you to try the Lomi Lomi massage and to give yourself the space to experience its healing power.
I invite you to my Lomi Lomi massage course, during which I will guide you through a journey of self-discovery and connection with your body.
