The difference between Lomi Lomi massage and Swedish massage is the"loving touch". Its holistic approach creates a connection between your mind, body, emotion and spirit. The massage therapist begins the Lomi Lomi massage session by placing their hands gently on the client and staying still for a while. They might also ask you to take deep breaths to help you relax. Traditional Lomi Lomi practitioners might add music and chanting of prayers. Unlike the other styles of massage, during the Lomi Lomi massage more of your body is uncovered. This is because the massage therapists move in long flowing motions rather than working on one body part at a time. Some therapists use massage sheets, exposing larger areas of your body at once.

The massage therapist makes use of the forearms and the hands in a fluid, rhythmic motion, massaging different parts of the body at the same time. This helps the client relax as the brain can't focus on two different areas at once. By not working on areas in isolation, a deep sense of stability and peace is achieved. Traditional Lomi Lomi massage technique includes abdominal massage as this is traditionally considered the colon part of a person's soul or heart.
