Lomi lomi that you practice is called lomi lomi nui, also known as temple lomi / temple style / kahuna lomi lomi / kahuna bodywork. It comes from the lineage of kahu Abraham Kawai’i. I learned this lomi through two of kahu´s students: Susan Floyd and Jody Mountain. 

Lomi strokes on the back and front of the body – watch for inspiration.

This is a video from my teacher, Susan Floyd, explaining deep stroke on the back.

E ala e, ka lā i ka hikina
I ka moana, ka moana hohonu
Pi’i ka lewa, ka lewa nu‘u
I ka hikina, aia ka lā, e ala e!

Awaken/Arise, the sun in the east,
From the ocean, the deep ocean,
Climbing to heaven, the highest heaven,
In the east, there is the sun, arise!
