Lomi, Lomi, Aloha Blessing of Life

Santa Barbara Body Therapy Institute Newsletter	March 4, 2012

Greetings!

Ever feel like you are living groundhog day? Ever feel like you keep playing the same pattern over and over, the players in your play may change, but the same issues recur and the same feelings overlay your experiences? Ever wish you could support another in breaking free from their entrenched patterns and stuck feeling places?

I invite you to consider the body/ mind connection when attempting to shift consciousness in self or another. Lomi, Lomi is an ancient bodywork practice from Hawaii dedicated to shifting consciousness, shifting bodies - shifting patterns and moving into new ways of being. Lomi, Lomi in traditional Hawaiian culture has a central place in the coming of Age Rituals given to young men and women preparing their body and psyche for the hormonal floodgates, responsibilities and new ways of being of young adulthood. Lomi, Lomi is infused with breathe, prayer and deep gliding forearm strokes all over the body. Lomi, lomi is intensely rhythmic, energizing and opening to the body.

I invite you to open your body, breathe a deeper breathe and open the floodgates of spirit in body. I invite you to join us this month for Lomi, Lomi training or clinic.

COME breathe the Ha breath,

the Aloha blessing of Life,

COME dance the dance of FLIGHT,

Strengthening your foundation and your visions,

COME set your intentions and prayers

COME sing the chant of Opening.

Many Blessings,
