I tested: massage care made in Tahiti
The tradition
The Massage Sublime Polynesia is inspired by Lomi Lomi practiced by the traditional healers of the islands. Its principle: to balance the harmony between the body and the mind by freeing energy blockages (physical, emotional). We are massaged with the hands but also forearms and elbows.
Phytoaromatic
For this massage, oil and balm are slightly heated and mixed. Both certified organic, they contain a noni and monoï cocktail of Tahiti. Sacred plants used in Raaut, the Polynesian pharmacopoeia with nourishing, protective and sublimating properties.
The fragrance? A harmony vanilla, benzoin and orange that invites to a true olfactory and sunny journey.
Ceremony
The Sublime ceremonial begins with the spray of a beauty water with orange blossom followed by slight pressure on the entire body. A preamble encouraging us to let go to better enjoy this Zen parenthesis. The massage in itself begins with the back but, surprise and originality, it is received on the side. A fetal position finally more comfortable than the usual "on the stomach". And the nodes are breaking down.
On the key energy points: coccyx, hollow of the back, solar plexus, hollow of the shoulders and neck, the practitioner applies by soft pressure volcanic stones which release their heat in a progressive way for a true muscular relaxation.
We then go on the back. Originality also at the rendezvous: are first massed an arm, a hand then the opposite leg and foot, then the other leg and foot and finally the remaining arm and hand. Confusing for the uninitiated but finally the goal is reached, we relax.
The movements of this waltz star are realized fists closed, fingers folded and even with the forearms. The whole astonishment fluid and rhythmic. At this moment, we feel the tensions unblock a little.
Large smoothing of the whole body, similar to large wraps, punctuate these maneuvers. Then the practitioner covers her face with a thin towel through which she works with the pulp of the fingers on the acupressure points in order to relaunch the energy circulation.
Then follow the smoothing of the forehead to the temples and the wings of the nose. The stimulation of the meridians of the hands and feet completes the whole. They are identified according to everyone's needs: to reinforce energy, eliminate nervousness or reduce fatigue. Finally to close the loop, we receive a massage deep back.
