WEB SITE
This site has been launched to bring together a variety of sources for Holistic Therapy. As well as
providing a platform for you to find a local practitioner, we hope it will become a resource for you
to locate information about Holistic subjects that include the therapies, but also encompass
numerous articles about healthy, sustainable lifestyles.
CENTRE
The Gaia Centre has been set up to promote a number of Holistic Therapies. Local practitioners in
the Charnwood district will be able to operate from a central (Loughborough) base to provide
therapies in the clinic or via their own mobile services.
In addition to offering you a comprehensive therapeutic service, our aims include promoting the
benefits of Complimentary Therapies to the wider community. We also help to support both local
and national charities by our practitioners and students of ASCT attending fund raising sports
events.
RATIONALE
The general idea behind Gaia is one of holistic living. In line with the Gaia Hypothesis (see below),
Gaia practitioners consider the body to be an complete entity. What affects one part will have
consequences for another. Gaia therapies may treat the affected part, but will also pay attention
to the whole.
HYPOTHESIS
The Gaia hypothesis proposes that living and nonliving parts of the earth are a complex
interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism. This hypothesis postulates that all
living things have a regulatory effect on the Earth's environment that promotes life overall.
The Gaia hypothesis was first scientifically formulated in the 1960s by the independent research
scientist Dr. James Lovelock, as a consequence of his work for NASA on methods of detecting life
on Mars.
James Lovelock defined Gaia as:
A complex entity involving the Earth's biosphere, atmosphere, oceans, and soil; the totality
constituting a feedback or cybernetic system which seeks an optimal physical and chemical
environment for life on this planet.
For more information see Wikipedia Gaia hypothesis.
MYTHOLOGY
Gaia (or Gaea) was an early earth goddess. The name derives from the Greek Ga or Ge ("land"
or "earth"). In the Ancient Greek pantheon Gaia is the primal goddess personifying the Earth. Gaia
gave birth to Pontus (the Sea) and Uranus (the Sky) and.Ourea (Mountains). Gaia is considered to
be a Mother Goddess or Great Goddess. Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra.
