Today's article will be a bit different. Usually, I write about tantra massage and its benefits. But today, I will describe an equally beautiful massage with a long history - the Lomi Lomi Nui massage, which you can experience in Warsaw. So, what is the Hawaiian ritual like?
What is the Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Nui Massage?
Lomi Lomi Nui is a massage technique that involves fluid, wave-like movements resembling the motion of the ocean. The masseur uses their hands, forearms, and elbows to gently press, stretch, and massage the body's muscles. Contrary to appearances, the goal of the massage is not to relax tense muscles, stimulate blood and lymph circulation, or facilitate the removal of toxins from the body. These are just positive side effects. An important aspect of Lomi Lomi massage is its spiritual dimension. A well-trained masseur performs the ritual using prayers, the albatross dance just before starting the massage, and specific pelvic movements throughout the session to release energy and restore balance in the body. Unfortunately, the spiritual dimension of this massage is not often experienced in most Lomi Lomi massage salons in Poland. Few people know how to perform the true ritual.
Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Nui Massage vs. Tantric Massage: What Comes First?
Many people interested in tantric massage but not yet feeling ready for this form of experience often choose to start with the Lomi Lomi Nui massage. This form of massage offers deep relaxation and a spiritual experience that can help prepare the body for more energy and the more intense sensations associated with tantric massage. For couples who would like to experience a full-body massage together, for example, excluding intimate areas, the Lomi Lomi Nui couples massage is an excellent introduction to the place and atmosphere where the future tantric massage will take place. The Hawaiian massage does not have to be performed naked, but it can be - the person being massaged decides before the session begins. In the times of matriarchy, before Hawaii became part of the United States, this massage was also focused on intimate areas, but since it has been advertised and popularized by conservative States, the intimate parts have been "removed" from the massage, turning it into a "spa practice."
Lomi Lomi Nui Massage for Couples - Indications for Lomi Lomi Massage for Couples
Lomi Lomi Nui massage for couples is a unique experience that allows two people to be massaged simultaneously by two masseurs. Partners lie next to each other, experiencing relaxation through the fluid, synchronized movements of the masseurs, enabling them to share the benefits of this extraordinary technique together. Couples massage can be a wonderful way to renew closeness and strengthen the emotional bond in a relationship.
Benefits of Lomi Lomi Nui Massage - What Does Lomi Lomi Help With?
Lomi Lomi Nui massage offers many benefits for both the body and the spirit. Here are some of them:
- Muscle Relaxation and Tension Reduction: The fluid movements of the massage, using the whole hands and forearms, help to relax tense muscles and reduce stress.
- Stimulation of Blood and Lymph Circulation: This ritual supports healthy circulation, which helps in removing toxins from the body. Especially in our practice, we pay special attention to movements from distal to proximal points and are mindful of lymph movement not only towards the heart but also "left and right," for example, in the areas of abdominal and inguinal lymph nodes.
- Improvement of Metabolism: The techniques used in the massage can accelerate metabolism and support digestive processes.
- Increase in Flexibility and Joint Mobility: Regular sessions can improve body flexibility and increase the range of motion.
- Calming the Mind and Stress Reduction: Lomi Lomi Nui has a soothing effect on the nervous system, helping to achieve a deep state of relaxation and inner peace. Sometimes the person being massaged releases blocked emotions during the massage.
- Strengthening Emotional Bonds: Couples massage can strengthen emotional bonds and help renew closeness in a relationship.
How to Prepare for a Lomi Lomi Nui Massage
Preparing for a Lomi Lomi Nui massage doesn't require special preparation, but it is helpful to take care of a few things to ensure the session is as comfortable as possible:
- Choosing the Right Place: The ritual can be performed in a professional studio, at home, or even on a beach. It is important that the place is comfortable and conducive to relaxation. Even more importantly, the masseur should be knowledgeable and skilled.
- Preparing the Atmosphere: The right temperature, pleasant music, and discreet lighting can significantly enhance the quality of the experience.
- Comfortable Clothing: Loose, comfortable clothing that doesn't restrict movement is ideal for the massage session.
- Consultation with the Masseur: Before the session begins, it's essential to discuss your needs and expectations with the masseur to tailor the massage techniques to your individual preferences.
Lomi Lomi is not just a relaxation technique but, when performed correctly, also a deeply spiritual experience that harmoniously connects the body and mind. It is an ideal choice for those who wish to relax, reduce stress, and find inner peace through the massage of various parts of the body on a massage table. For couples, the Hawaiian massage can be a unique way to spend time together, strengthen bonds, and serve as the perfect experience before a tantric massage.
