I believe Kahi Loa is very different from Lomi Lomi.  From my understanding on the training from Serge King, Kahi Loa involves the recipient in discussion and visualization of elements like water, fire, wind, etc... for clearing that correspond to the different movements the practitioner would be using on their body.  Whereas my Temple Style Lomi Lomi training allows the recipient to zone out to their own visualization without any verbal cues from the practitioner.  Kahi Loa can be done clothed in any position like even a chair and Lomi Lomi is oily so no clothes is best.  With Kahi Loa the recipient may turn over multiple times and is aware and conscious of everything with moves typically starting from the head and down versus Lomi Lomi where they are turned once and there isn't any talking so the figure 8 and random moves allow the brain to not focus/control.  Does that fit with what you've been reading?

Aloha Daniel, I could not find a Facebook page but did find this one http://healinglightservices.blogspot.com/p/kahi-loa.html There are many concepts on this page that are not traditional Hawaiian. "Kahi loa" does not mean "Infinite Oneness." There is no such thing as a Hawaiian shaman. Hawaiians traditionally do not recognize 7 elements (7 is not a significant number in Hawaiian thought). Hawaiians traditionally do not recognize a Higher Self. Hawaiians certainly did not work with furs. Traditionally, Hawaiians do not speak of the heart. If you go further down the page it talks about lomilomi and again, many ideas that sound lovely but are not Hawaiian. There was no such thing as a rite of passage - coming of age ritual. The kahuna did not perform "magic." I could go on but you get the picture. It's a New Age invention passing itself off as an ancient Hawaiian tradition.

Mahalo, I am getting closer to an understanding of what this is but still not clear on the use of the 7 elements in the session.
