SACRED HAWAIIAN LOMI MASSAGE



Sacred Lomi Hawaiian Temple Bodywork is somitimes referred to as loving hands massage. It is an ancient Polynesian form of healing that can create energy shifts. It is a combination of massage and energy work that unites the body, mind and spirit.

During the session the practitioner uses breath, dance, and music. The breath is the universal life force energy. The dance or movement pattern is a prayer in motion aligning us on all levels of our being. The music adds beautiful, uplifting, meditative energy for the body, mind, and spirit to soar.

The whole body is worked on including the face, belly, buttocks and breast area. The techniques go on top, underneath and all over the body.

Let clients know that htere are no sheets on the table. The body is worked on as a whole, so for this only the genital area is draped. The room is heated, the music and techniques are different. The music is Hawaiian, Native, East Indian and Drumming.

It is a very intimate massage. Many clients say that it feels like there is many hands on them. Because lomi works on body, mind and spirit, clients may have visualizations, and old memories may arise.

This is o.k. and they are encourage to relax and go with it. If people are uncomfortable or change their mind, it is no problem to switch to Swedish Massage. Treatments are an hour and a half.


The client should:

Shave
Eat lightly beforehand
No caffeine
Don't wear fancy clothes because of the oil
They should think about their intention for the treatment
Choose to be gentle, open and accepting of themself.
Clients may have visualizations and relive past memories, just allow it to happen
Don't schedule appointments right after treatment, you may be tired, energized or want to discuss the session.

If you want more information, please visit Sacred Lomi Massage or call Stacey at (613) 482-0879.

CRANIOSACRAL


The craniofacial system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protects the brain and spinal cord. It expends from the bones of the skull, face, mouth, which make up the cranium, down to the sacrum, or tailbone area.

Since the vital system influences the development and performance of the brain and spinal cord, an imbalance or restriction in it could cause any number of sensory, motor or neurological disabilities. Theses problems could include chronic pain, eye difficulties, scoliosis, motor-coordination impairments, learning disabilities and other health challenges.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gently method of detection and correction that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate these negative effects of strees on you central nervous system, you can also benefit from overall health and resistance to disease.

What does CranioSacral Therapy Address?

Migraines and headaches
Chronic neck and back pain
Motor-Coordination impairment
Stress and tension related problems
Infantile disorders

Learning disabilities

And namy other conditions

How is Craniosacral performed?

Craniosacral is performed on a table and the person is fully clothed. Using a very light touch, the practitioner monitors the rhythm of the crainosacral syste, which can be felt just like a pulse. The practitioner detects any restrictions or imbalances. The practitioner then uses gentle manual techniques to release the problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord.

A session is normally an half and hour to an hour. You can also incorporate it with massage. Try a half session of massage and half sessions of craniofacial. It is common to feel heat, a shifting in your body, gurgling, and emotions may come up and be released. Craniosacral is a very gentle touch that relaxes people, many fall asleep. Yes the treatment is still working if you are asleep. There is no pain or complications with craniofacial as it is a very safe treatment.
