Lomi Body Work

Jeffrey A. Schaler and Renée Royak-Schaler

DEFINITION

Lomi Body Work is an integrative psycho-physical therapy in which deep muscular tensions in the body are released through a series of direct physical manipulations. The Lomi practitioner uses his hands, knuckles, fingers, and elbows to stretch the fascia, or sheaths of connective tissue, in the body and to balance the subtle energy flow in the body. The aim is to allow a balanced and unrestricted flow of creative life energy, increased body awareness, postural alignment, and emotional as well as physical integration.

The underlying theory of the work is that personal integrity is expressed in the physical body through awareness, structural equilibrium, muscular resiliency, breathing, and homeostatic vitality. By directing awareness in the present to muscular tension and through restructuring the body in a way that facilitates physical integrity, associated aspects of the mind and emotions may be realized and responded to in a natural and nourishing way. By examining how people support themselves physically, one can begin to see how attitude is reflected in posture and how conscious posture can affect one’s experience of life. Lomi Body Work is a holistic application of experiential learning that encourages an individual to investigate, acknowledge, and take responsibility for the many aspects of self.
