Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage I N T E RV I E W W IT H R OSA LI E SA M E T BY MADELAINE WINZER
The story of Hawaii is essentially a sacred love story about the people’s deep reverence for nature, their beliefs, and customs for their people. The people were in love with the beauty, power, and magic, and in return, they felt truly loved by life. Lomi lomi is an ancient massage that had been practised for over 1000 years and was a sacred part of healing affecting the body, mind, and spirit. This style of massage differs from other types of massage with its use of smooth therapeutic strokes to massage the whole body to release trapped memories and tensions, so that balance and harmony can be restored throughout the body.
