The Fundamental Principles of Cooperative BioBalance® are:

  1. Live and Let Live

  2. People can communicate with the deep intelligence in trees, plants and other Beings of Nature.

  3. Ask first, with humility!

  4. Trees and plants can live in dynamic balance with insects, diseases, and related organisms.

Co-founder and Principal Practitioner, Dr. Jim Conroy, explains, “All of us on this planet are connected. By healing and saving the trees and plants, you heal and save yourself. Peace between all living Beings is the result of moving away from the unworkable, unsustainable state of domination, control, and superiority and moving to the new land of cooperation, partnership, and equality. All people can help to light that path. All people can deeply know and acknowledge that our lives depend on healthy plants and trees. All can express our gratitude for the oxygen, food, beauty, and other resources for which we use the Plant Kingdom. All of us can love the trees and plants.

Dr. Jim explains, “If the plants are healthy and their related organisms are healthy, then each can interact in a healthy manner with each other. The possibility then exists for each to live in harmony with the other.

Dr. Jim continues, “Each organism has a will to live. Thus, the tree can be the tree, and the insect can be the insect, and a disease organism can be itself—all living in state of dynamic balance. But when the plants are unhealthy internally–perhaps due to a variety of abiotic stress factors–other life forms continue their biological activities until they destroy their host. Insects or disease organisms may or may not be out of balance at that point.

Dr. Jim continues, “If members of the Plant Kingdom are internally healthy and expressing their full potential, then they are being themselves. In doing so, other organisms that live in ecological relationship with them–being themselves at the same time–all have the opportunity to express their full potential and exist in balance.”
