Hawaiian
Temple Bodywork
– Lomilomi
Ke Ala Hoku is a deeply relaxing, sacred, prayerful
and healing bodywork which is based on the shamanic
healing practices of the ancient Hawaiian Kahunas
(shamanic healers).
During your sacred Lomilomi journey, you will
enter the profound, vital peace and bliss of this
Being that is you, and there discover and experience
what cannot be described in words. This Journey
is one of reconnecting, experientially, to your
own Divine nature, as the profound and pure, ecstatic
bliss that speaks of your soul, your essence,
beyond word and concept.
The Hawaiian Temple Bodywork or 'Temple Style'
tradition of Lomilomi was originally inspired
and practiced by the Kahuna in the royal temples
of ancient Hawai’i where Lomlomi was used
to soothe and heal the Hawaiian Kings (Ali'i),
royal family and members of the royal court. It
also served as a powerful Rite-of-Passage ceremony
for important transitions in life. The term Ke
Ala Hoku means 'pathway to the stars' or 'journey
that carries you home' and refers to the profound
physical and spiritual healing affects of this
Hawaiian
Temple Bodywork tradition of Lomilomi.
Lomilomi
as a Healing Modality and Form of Bodywork
Two
of Lomilomi's traditional applications include
shamanic healing by the Kahuna la’au lapa’au
(spiritual healers) and for restorative, manipulative
therapy. Lomilomi assists the release of physical
and mental blockages to energy flow. While simultaneously,
it gives the energy flows, and their associated
idea flows, new direction, vitality and possibility.
On the physical level, Lomilomi promotes the free
and abundant flow of life force energy (mana)
in the recipient. Stress and tension are relieved,
blood and lymph flows are increased and toxin
elimination from cells, tissues and organs is
stimulated.
On deeper levels, Lomilomi brings about mental,
emotional and spiritual healing as well. Lomilomi
relaxes the entire being and assists the letting
go of old, limiting beliefs and behaviors by providing
new neurologic maps stored in the cerebral cortex
that are linked to the cells of our body. This
effectively makes possible transformations in
our awareness and experience of our freedom of
being and aliveness, which expresses itself as
health, well being, and the presence of the divine
in life. When healing is effected on one level,
all levels are affected. The life affirming and
healing effects of Lomlomi continue long after
the session is over.

Ke Ala Hoku is called Journey to the Stars. During
a session, traditional Lomilomi practitioners
may use the palms, forearms, fingers, elbows,
knees, and feet to help the body release physical
stress and move energy in the body. Learn

Lomilomi as a Sacred Rite-of-Passage
Hawaiian Temple Bodywork combines prayer and manipulative
therapy into a sacred, ceremonial form of bodywork
that brings about profound levels of peace and
well-being, empowers realignment of your intentions
and purpose in life and helps manifest your heart’s
desire.
As in ancient Hawaiian culture, using Hawaiian
Temple Bodywork as a rite-of-passage, not only
honors important moments of life's transitions
in a beautiful and sacred way, it also can call
forth and generate new vision, intentions and
possibilities in life. This sacred and magical
bodywork allows you to reconnect with your inner
guidance and revitalize your physical, emotional,
mental, energetic and spiritual bodies to realign
with your divinely intended purpose and manifest
your heart's desires.
Profound Effects of Lomilomi
In Hawaiian Temple Bodywork Lomilomi, your whole
being is accepted and honored in its natural unity.
By aligning with divine, unconditional love and
acceptance (aloha) whose source is within, the
Lomilomi practitioner creates a sacred space of
nurturing love, peace, and safety in which the
recipient is invited to completely trust, let
go and receive, or become one with what is, in
this moment (Ho‘oponopono – the practice
of coming into alignment with truth). You then
can recognize and experience this deep state of
peace, healing and well being as your natural
state of spiritual wholeness.
Those who have experienced it know the real meaning
of Ke Ala Hoku, “the journey that carries
you home.” It will take you into the bliss
essence of your own Being – your own true
nature beyond the layers of your conditioned identities
– and when experienced with two simultaneous
practitioners, it is in a word, 'mind-blowing'.
The only way to truly know Hawaiian Temple Bodywork

Thus, a Hawaiian Temple Bodywork – Lomilomi
