A year ago today!!!! Time to get grounded. Once I’m not infectious! So…There’s an etymology of a saying, then a history of the saying. The etymology of “grounded” is ancient Germanic, to lack freedom. But the history of “grounded” stems from Yogis and gurus who believe that 30 minutes with your feet touching grass can bring one’s earthly being clarity. In India, on mountain travels, a Guru taught me to dig a hole and bury my feet for three hours a day, and if I can’t do that then to sit on the grass, to always walk without shoes when in nature. This is to attune oneself to life’s essence. It felt odd at the time, but makes sense now. When working for @nomadadventuregopeng, the pioneer of climbing and adventure based learning, whose owner and creator Yuen Lee, brought to South Easy Asia rock climbing, flying foxes, high ropes courses, (and more) and to whom we intro’d River safety and professional rafting skills; where we met with global clients while working closely with the native Orang Asli people’s and kampong (villagers) of Malaysia. Many clients, teens, had never felt grass (from many places yet mostly Singapore). When they did, whole mindsets changed. We watched youth grow into unbelievable careers, and adult clients learn through natural challenges their strengths are in helping weaknesses. CoVID has got me out but nature will be waiting for me... Thanks to the love of friends I’m heaps better today!!! We can have our Prada bags, our Coco Chanel diamonds, we can have all the worldly possessions we can desire, but nature is a gift we often overlook. (hell, I have those and more but is that the point?) No. The point is to live. Can’t wait to put my feet in the grass and become “grounded”. ❤️ if you’ve done this, 🔥 if you want to try and 😍 if you’re a lover of nature 🖤🖤🖤🖤 I can’t WAIT to get back to singing… and working. Grounded, but with dreams. #nature #throwback #grounded #guru #outdooradventures #happy #free #noshoes #hike #explore #discovery #love #girl #instadaily #traveler #thankyou #nomad #antioxidants #detox #doyou #moneycantbuyhappiness #pfft #materialworld #youcanbeboth #beyourself #green #jungle #adventure #covidsucks #cantwait
