HealingTouch

All mammals instinctively give healing touch to comfort loved ones.

kissing children, pets, friends, lovers and anyone for whom we feel affection. When accompanied by

The Mind-Body Connection

In the early half of the 19th Century, Dr. Wilhelm Reich’s
approach was to work with the body rather than the
mind. The famed Viennese psychiatrist said: “It’s not the
psyche (mind), but the soma (body).”His groundbreaking
work led some psychiatry schools to incorporate
“somatics”into their approach and fostered “alternative
healing”counseling therapies in this field.

In Unwinding the Belly – Healing with Gentle Touch,

co-authors Allison Post and Stephen Cavaliere assert that

gently working the fingers in the area around one’s navel

is “the most powerful self-manipulation you can possibly

breathing, and it connects you to your center in a very

Ho’oponopono addresses the mind, soul, and spirit, releasing
past hurt and grievances by literally “making right right “
bringing one into the power of now. Lomi Lomi summons
the body’s innate intelligence to heal and repair itself the
way nature intended. The consciousness of the practitioner
is immersed in loving awareness of self, others, and nature
(Aloha means ‘One Breath’). As Lomi Lomi practitioners, we
remember our true essence through prayer, chant, dance,
conscious breathing, and precise alignment. It allows us to
draw the patient into a deep remembering of soul identity,
which is the source of true healing.

Besides being so effective and anatomically precise that
it can be used with physical therapy, Lomi Lomi is infused
with Mana (energy) and known to restore wellness, not just
physically, but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Reconnecting with the primordial essence and nature plays a
vital role in the healing process. The ancients revered nature
- they drew power from it. The Lomi practitioner invokes all
five elements: Water (fluidity & letting go), Earth (grounding
and stability), Fire (power & passion), Air (ease & space for
transformation), Ether (freedom & expanded energetic field).
The Hawaiians recognized the existence of the fifth element
(electricity) and perceived an aura (electrical field around
living things as seen in Killian photography) they called
Aka . Therefore, Lomi strokes always extend beyond the
boundaries of the skin.

Kahi Loa is an imposition of hands on two parts of the
body, usually the spine, creating a bridge and energetically
resonant current, similar to Reiki or polarity therapy.

Lomi Lomi was banned and made illegal by Christian
missionaries and had to go underground until the 60’s.
It is now recognized as a tradition that is to be treasured,
thanks to enduring family values and a few Kahunas who
preserved and passed it to younger generations. It has now
become fully recognized, practiced, and sought after all
over the world.

Tanmayo Nicole Brown has been initiated by
Auntie Margaret and has been practicing Lomi
since 1993 and teaching internationally. A long
time Maui resident, she offers sessions and
monthly weekend-long certification courses.
