Grounded: How connection with nature can improve our mental and physical wellbeing

Product Information

The reason I'd avoided it thus far is because of bugs, and by that, I mean actual critter bugs, not gameplay ones. My arachnophobia is epically bad, which means that even though I'd pushed the wonderful spider-safe mode slider the full distance, the gloopy legless blobs that scuttle around Oak Hill still bring me out in a cold sweat.

Grounded Review | GamesRadar+ Grounded Review | GamesRadar+

Even though people spend an inordinate amount of time looking at our phones or other forms of screens at the moment, one of the things that we have learnt in the past few years is just how much we as a species are dependent on nature. In one form or other, it feeds, clothes and shelters us. Everything is utterly interlinked too, so as we change one thing, we inadvertently affect numerous other things. There are different chapters that relate to the different ways we can connect with nature and improve wellness in a way that is accessible. There's personal experiences interspersed with clinical studies and research, and the roots of philosophies about this including yoga, Ayurveda etc and each chapter has practical exercises you can try to introduce more connect.I've read numerous books about (re)connecting with nature, many very good indeed, but Dr Ruth Allen's Grounded is the stand-out work. It is clearly written with love, compassion and clarity by someone with a deep understanding of the subject. I can be easily discouraged, I confess, by content that I find rather esoteric, but Grounded is accessible, engaging, intelligent and highly practical, encouraging both reflection and practice. I have returned to it many times and it has proven a constant source of comfort and stimulation as I instil and renew my connection to, and part in, nature.” Great reminder of how as humans we are nature and not separate from nature. Written beautifully draws the reader along. As a bibliophile I found it physically a tactile book to hold a real joy to read. V useful for therapists too” I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it came exactly at the right time I needed it. It is a beautifully written book that made me feel connected to nature and myself again.

From working out how to reach high places, to crafting your first tools to start collecting resources, our how-to guides are designed to answer those important questions.The most promising feature of Grounded is that there's always room to grow, then, but even if Obsidian decided to call it quits now, it could do so proud of what it has accomplished here. This small game with a big heart is ultimately a successful experiment, and while the tension between its two identities of role-playing and survival-crafting results in some noticeable tension points, the marriage between the two remains a happy union overall. From side quests to the main story, you'll be expected to find certain items along the way. There are also plenty of discoverable locations, hidden items and secrets for you to uncover. Our guides cover them all whether you're looking for juice boxes, SCA.B schemes or BURGL chips. Tony Bryant and Kathy Charmaz are the perfect editors for this excellent and forward looking Handbook which is surely destined to be a classic' My hope is that in this frenzy of the modern world, people will find in Grounded spaces of quiet reflection that can help them learn to slow down,” Dr Canton added.
