MODULE 2
Element Water

You will expand your basic knowledge to be able to pass on the Lomi massage as a self-contained ritual. A 90-minute Lomi-Lomi massage, based on the basic principles, will give you the foundation for your further Lomi practice.

The special: In this module you will learn how to turn your clients independently on the table. This maintains the flow of the massage and allows the recipient to remain emotionally in their inner world.

You are in the right place, if you have successfully completed module 1 or have comparable previous knowledge.

PROGRAM

WAI - The element WATER gives flow in massaging

• Your Lomi repertoire will be complemented by further fluid under-body movements (dolphin stroke) and effective techniques for releasing blockages.
• You begin to develop your own personal flow in a massage.
• You will learn your first simple rotation on the massage table from the prone to the supine position and how to incorporate this rotation into the flow of the entire massage ritual.
• In a playful way, special exercises from Hawaiian shamanism increase your capacity for presence and body awareness.
• You use the breath to connect with your client, creating an emotional anchor that accompanies you through the massage.
• The background knowledge about the origin and philosophy of Lomi Lomi will be expanded by selected Huna principles and the "Hawaiian Life Approach".

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT - PERSONAL GROWTH

FAMILY MEMBER - dealing with beliefs, based on the concept of personality traits

• Which of my inner parts am I aware of? What influence does my inner attitude have on my behavior, my social contacts and my Lomi massage?
• Which of my beliefs strengthen me and which do I want to question?
• How do I deal with emotions such as shame, fear, sadness and lust in the massage for myself and the person receiving the massage?
• How can I integrate the Hawaiian Lomi principle “Ancient Paradigm” (recognize yourself!) into my own Lomi practice and into my everyday life?
