The Green Centrics™ system puts the tree or plant in the center of importance…coming from its point of view, not a human point of view. Hence, the word “centrics” indicating the “center.”
SEVERAL BASIC PREMISES UNDERPIN THIS WORK:
1- A tree or any other plant is alive.
A tree is a living organism that grows, branches, heals breaks or cuts, reproduces, feeds itself, etc.
We assume that you accept this premise.
2- Stress compromises internal functionality.
Internal functionality can be thought of as all of the interacting and inter-dependent feedback loops operating inside of an organism. It’s like an orchestra. When a symphony orchestra is playing harmoniously, all the instruments are in tune, on beat and playing the same music. If not, there is discord. Similarly with a tree, all aspects of inner physiology must be coordinated and working properly in relation to all others for the tree to be healthy.
Just because it rains doesn’t mean that a tree is over the drought stress. Compromises in its hydration systems can persist well beyond the next 5 or 10 or 100 rains.
Examples of internal functionality for a tree or any plant include
- Circulation of fluids
- Photosynthesis
- Uptake of water and nutrients
- Movement of water and nutrients in the xylem and phloem to the growing point
- Cell division
- etc.
3- Three or more stresses lead to decline in trees. Insects and diseases rarely cause stress but are drawn to already-stressed trees, thereby deepening the tree’s stress. Tree stressors are additive.
For example, a summer drought that compromises hydration systems is sometimes followed by an excessively wet autumn. That further taxes the hydration systems and may open the door to fungal diseases. Then, abnormal warmth may persist into January followed by extreme cold in February. This can freeze buds that were beginning to swell in the warmth.
Frozen buds may die so new buds must be regenerated, using precious food stores. The expected food supply from the original leaf generation is postponed, so the tree’s first good “meal” in spring is late and more stores must come up from the roots. Perhaps the spring is dry so rains do not activate the microbial life in the soil to interact properly with the roots. Insufficient water uptake imbalances the ratio of sugars to water to nutrients. Meanwhile, its hydration and fluid transportation systems are still not operating at full capacity, so the food that is produced may not make it to the growing points to make more leaves.
Then, there may be a long cloudy cold snap in Spring which may shut down further photosynthesis. This may open the door to an insect attack on the ailing and too small leaves, further reducing photosynthesis. And on it goes. There may be a hot spell in summer. Human house construction on the site may compact the soil or cut roots. Well-meaning landscapers may pile mulch higher than the 1/2” safety limit and thereby rot the roots. Tree-loving homeowners may fertilize; ignorant of the fact that a stressed tree will be “blown out” by too much nitrogen.
Life outside for trees can be a difficult endeavor.
4- Decline can be reversed even after conventional tree care approaches are exhausted.
Decline can be reverse by re-establishing functionality and dynamic balance inside of the tree; in other words, by making the tree healthy on the inside! Conventional tree care works on the “outside” of the tree, hoping that it can heal itself on the inside. Decline can be reversed—not by adding additional stressors like fertilizers or doing invasive root aeration—but by working in partnership with the powerful bio-electro-magnetic growth energy of the tree itself on its inside.
The downward spiral of decline can be reversed to an upward spiral of growth primarily through bio-energetic and energy-based techniques. Products such as fertilizers or biological additives and techniques like root aeration can THEN be effective to KEEP the tree healthy.
5- “Coming from the tree’s point of view” represents a new kind of bio-energetic partnership with Nature and is respectful to all trees.
“Coming from the tree’s point of view” is possible using proven “new science” findings, intentional thinking, heart-based sensitivity and intuitive approaches. Modern humans assume—as a result of our 400-year-old Cartesian scientific methodology—that we are objective. However, recent findings in Quantum Physics and other new sciences have proven that everything is related and there is no such thing as objectivity. Ancient peoples knew this and current indigenous peoples survive based on this truth.
Therefore, Dr. Jim Conroy has developed the Green Centrics™ system—a system which respects the Life Force or Growth Energy of trees and plants. In this system, the practitioner separates the human or self-focus and “comes from the tree’s point of view” in order to assist it in bio-energetically healing itself.
6- “Hands-On” techniques borrowed from human alternative health care systems are effective for trees, too.
Alternative Health Care systems abound for humans and are being accepted into mainstream medical and hospital settings for severely ill patients. Inspired by a human alternative health care system (The BodyTalk System, developed by Dr. John Veltheim) as well as other human energy-healing systems, Dr. Conroy realized that similar principles and techniques could be applied to trees and all plants. After his formal education and a life-time of working with plant health, he was clear that plant health professionals were focusing on disjointed aspects and thus missing something vital about plant health: restoring dynamic balance to the “whole system” from the “inside-out.”
Thus, the Green Centrics system is designed to fix or repair the full range of plant health aspects (botanical, scientific, environmental, physiological, bio-energetic, multi-cultural, cyclical issues and more) by borrowing proven “hands-on” human energy techniques such as touching, tapping, intentional concentration and focused attention. |
