Synopsis

Hawaiian Lomilomi captures the traditional massage of the Hawaiian elders of the Big Island of Hawai'i. The circulatory techniques are combined with pule (prayer), la'au lapa'au (herbal medicine), and ho'oponopono (forgiveness of others and self) and living one's life in pono (balance and alignment with ke akua or spirit). It includes interviews with lomilomi kumu (teachers), some of which have already walked the rainbow (passed).
