Whether you are new to the world of massage, or have been indulging in its wisdom and practices for some time, you will have noticed that the varieties of massage techniques are vast!
Before the age in which everyone in the world was connected to everyone else through the magic of a computer, there were things so obvious to the human experience that we all kind of discovered them in our way. The positive experience of human touch, and the benefits of manipulating muscle and other tissue, well these things kind of suggested themselves along the way.
And so, along the way, in all the corners of a round world, peoples learned and developed their own styles of what we now know as massage.
However, as much as there are some fundamental things that connect all the practices of massage together, it would be a mistake to see them all as similar.
Yes, at some point in every massage there is some form of manipulating soft tissue, and this will always stimulate blood flow and the removal of waste material from the muscles, but this is a general truth. If you were to gently rub your forearm just while reading this, that will happen as a result.
But this one single physiological result of massage is not the total of what massage is, and it does not offer insight into different styles. In fact, with many styles, if all we were to do is to learn technique, without developing a deeper understanding of the culture and philosophy behind it, we wouldn’t really ‘know’ that style at all.
Lomi Lomi, a traditional style from Hawaii, may provide the best example of why this is true.
Touching the Intangible
When something is intangible, in essence, it means it is not perceived by the senses. Love might make us smile, but love itself is not contained or understood by the senses, nor strictly within the physical world. This is actually a pretty familiar concept for most. For example, when we talk about massage, we often talk about the mind-body-spirit connection, which actually describes the connection between the physical (or tangible) and the intangible as experienced through activities like massage.
For Lomi Lomi however, the way that intangible and tangible come together is more than a connection. The main purpose of Lomi Lomi is to let the emotional, spiritual energy of a place, a client, and a practitioner come together in such a way that it will inform, or dictate what happens in that massage.
Sounds a bit tricky, and in a way, it is. Techniques for this massage can be specific, but, at the same time, no two Lomi Lomi massages are ever the same. This really is a style whose tradition begins with an integrated understanding of what it is to be human, and it includes the physical aspects alongside the emotional and spiritual, without separation.
Are you curious yet about how all that works together to make a unique form of massage? You should be. Lomi Lomi is designed in such a way as to reach deep into the self, from deep within the self. Mastering this technique does involve a lot of intangible concepts brought into moving form. For this reason, it may be one of the more challenging styles to master, but it provides an experience like no other.
So please stay tuned for the arrival of the first of three courses in this unique Hawaiian style. Do not be intimidated by descriptions that sound confusing…. let your curiosity, and your passion for giving guide you. Listen to these intangible parts of your own self, and you will already be well on your way.
