I believe it's "Get into the Groove". It means to become so adept at something that it become easy to do. Habitual.

This expression came into use in the late 1950's with the 'beatnik' generation. They introduced such terms as 'cool' and 'groovy' to mean something good and 'square' to describe someone not on their wavelength. In those days records were run at a speed of 78 revs per minute on the old record players and were made of Bakelite and very brittle and often warped. The arm of the gramophone had a long needle that was placed on the edge of the record as it revolved. Because the records became scratched easily the needle often jumped and left the 'groove' in the record and either kept repeating the same line or moved to a different part of the record. If the record was good the needle stayed 'in the groove' and the song could be heard in it's entirety without interruption. Thus anything good was described as being 'in the groove' or 'groovy'.
I was a ten year old child at the time and remember the beatniks as student types who wore large pullovers nicknamed 'Sloppy Joe's', wore jeans and sandals and had a liking for jazz music and drinking beer, They vanished when the Beatles came along.

Musicly speaking, I always thought that it was a metaphor refering to the process of getting the needle into the groove on the old vinyl records. To get the feel of the music the individual had to get "into the groove" exactly like the needle got into the groove on your record in order for you to hear the music the way it was meant to be heard. It's a sixties thing. Peace.

Perhaps, you meant, " get into the groove", which means to align with the natural or ordinary flow.

It's an instruction to go into a small group of trees and have some fun there.
