What is a CBD Massage?  Does it provide pain relief?  Can I get High? Is it legal?
These are all very good questions.  There is much hype surrounding the topical use of CBD in massage treatments.  While the science is still somewhat unclear, the anecdotal evidence is mounting that CBD infused oils or lotions  provides pain relief and can help with stress and relaxation.

CBD Massages have are becoming more popular. A massage using CBD provides an unconventional path to get from muscle soreness, chronic pain, tension and stress. Topical cannabinoids are, according to doctors, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories with healing properties.

The benefits of both massage therapy and CBD individually are well known. The theory holds that by combining the two, achieved results can be more intense.  CBD will bind and act on the CB2 receptors which can be found near the skin. This will activate the endocannabinoid system to deliver relief.

Cannabis has two essential components of interest, THC tetrahydrocannabinol & CBD cannabidiol.  THC is the psychoactive component of marijuana; it's the molecule that makes you feel "stoned."  CBD on the other hand is the one of interest to massage.  It has wonderful therapeutic properties, helps relieve pain, acts as an anti inflammatory, and when used as a topical massage cream, does not enter your blood stream. It will not get you high - but it may make you feel wonderful.

Since CBD is non-psychoactive (as opposed to THC which is what allows you to feel "high") so you do not have to worry about getting a high feeling from the CBD massage. If you were to get a massage that incorporated both THC and CBD topical products, you still likely wouldn’t feel a high as THC absorbed through the skin is not a sufficient means to allow it to be absorbed into the bloodstream and delivered to the brain - sorry folks.

Where Do I Get a CBD Massage? In many states where medical marijuana is legal, therapists are already offering infused products; both THC and CBD.  Some advertise this fact some do not.  It is always a good idea to simply ask your therapist if he or she can and is able to work with these products.

I am very excited to now be sharing some of my teachings within Lomi with students to share with their eventual clients,  I look forward to sharing the art, history, theory and practice of Lomi Lomi and invite you to join me in my efforts to bring this ancient healing practice, and indeed way of life to people who are interested and ready to receive.

Healing Hands trainings are for anyone who wants to learn to access their own healing legacy and learn to live in the spirit of Aloha.  For those who seek to really connect, human to human, soul to soul - to foster limitless transformation of the mind body spirit.

This is unlike most massage training. It can be deeply emotional, personal work.  Lomi Lomi involves the Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Perceptive .  It is both learning and unlearning and can set you on a path that influences all your future work. 

Lomi Lomi is my passion. It is so much more than a technique, for me it is a way of life.  Living Lomi.

I’ve been devoted to learning and now teaching this sacred work for many years.  I would be delighted to introduce you to this wonderful world of healing touch to share with your family, your community, the world.

TOUCH
Why do we close our eyes when we dream? when we kiss ? When we cry? Because some of the most beautiful things in life are felt, not seen.

Befriend your body and awaken to your sense of touch
Aloha. #touch #humanbody #healing #massage #healinghandsbodywork #zen #mindfulness #yoga #boston #marthasvineyard

When we touch another person we exchange energy. There is no way to avoid the fact that a kind of energetic communion takes place, even in such seemingly innocuous acts as shaking hands or touching another on the shoulder. Touch itself, communicates a great deal energetically, and actually influences our own energy field. This is something we all know intuitively


- Aloha
