Beauty and wellness are very close to each other in Hawaii. Already the natives of Hawaii made use of nature for medical healing and for the care of beauty by means of cosmetics. Huna Mana is an energy massage that leads to deep relaxation while energizing the body.

What does Huna Mana mean?

A massage is soothing, can relieve tension all over the body and is an integral part of many treatments related to wellness. A very special technique is offered by the Huna Mana shell massage. With paradisiacal fragrance oils, special massage techniques and Hawaiian sounds as well as the laying of shells on the body, the Huna Mana massage enchants the senses and leads to an absolutely deep and pleasant relaxation.

Even if Hawaii is far away for us, a kind of relaxing short vacation is possible through the massage Huna Mana.

The term Huna Mana comes from the Polynesian language:

  • HU is translated as a blazing fire.
  • NA means gently flowing water.
  • MANA means life energy, it is the energy that flows through plants, animals and people, so everything that lives, with positive energy.

So behind the term Huna Mana is a combination of the two energies of fire and water as a philosophy of life.

Features of the Huna Mana massage

The special features of this energy massage are mainly the technique and the massage strokes. On the back of the body, the fiery blazing energy is expressed. With dynamic and vibrating massage handles, blockages and tensions can be released on the back, buttocks and thighs and legs. This allows new energy to flow through the body again. The massage on the back of the body is felt as wonderfully invigorating.

Musically, this is accompanied by impulsive Hawaiian rhythms and sounds.

The shell technique

On the front of the body, on the other hand, flowing, calm and gentle massage strokes are used. This brings about absolute deep relaxation. The relaxing effect is supported by meditative sounds and the sound of the sea in the background.

The absolute wellness highlight is the application of shells. Various shells are placed on the entire front half of the body, including the face, to enhance relaxation. Shells are generally known as sources of energy, in the Huna Mana massage this energy is used to achieve pure relaxation.
