Weekly Musings: Lessons From the Peach Tree 🍑
|
Hi Reader, Every summer, my neighbor's peach tree reminds me that abundance often comes with a little urgency. One rather large branch stretches over the fence into my yard, and every July I find myself picking peaches just a little earlier than I'd like. If I wait for perfect tree-ripeness, the birds and squirrels usually beat me to them. Life is like that sometimes. We wait for the "perfect" time to eat better, sleep more, begin meditating, or finally schedule the appointment we've been thinking about. But nature doesn't wait for perfect. Life is already happening, and nature invites us to pay attention. In Ayurveda, we often talk about living in rhythm with nature. Sometimes the greatest lessons don't come from a book—they come from watching the seasons unfold. The peaches continue to ripen on my kitchen table, filling the house with their sweet fragrance and quiet beauty. They don't need to stay on the tree to become delicious—they simply need a little more time and the right conditions. Our own health is often the same. We don't need to have everything figured out before taking the next small step. Sometimes creating the right environment is enough for healing to begin. What's one small thing you've been waiting to do for yourself? If you've been curious about Ayurveda but aren't sure where to start, I'd love to meet you. Schedule a complimentary Meet with Marisa call, and together we’ll explore your health goals, answer your questions, and see whether Ayurveda is the right fit for you. Sending you abundance, Marisa P.S. Know someone who might enjoy these Weekly Musings? Feel free to forward this email. They can subscribe at ShelteringSkys.com. |

Hi Reader, Last night, while I was teaching yoga, I found myself getting a little lost in the teaching. There weren't too many students, so I was able to bring them to the rope wall and spend more time with the standing poses. We were working on lengthening the spine, creating space along the sides of the rib cage, and opening the chest and upper back. At some point, as I stood there explaining the poses, I realized I had entered an almost meditative state. The words and directions seemed to...
Hi Reader, I was in Colorado recently for my nephew Sid’s wedding (Sid also happens to be the person behind much of the web work for my business). Weddings have a way of bringing together people from all the different parts of our lives. Family comes from near and far. People you haven't seen for years suddenly appear in front of you. There are long conversations, short conversations, old stories and new ones. And, in this case, some very big Colorado skies. Not long before the wedding, I had...
Hi Reader, There is something about August that always makes me want to do a little less. Actually, if I'm being honest, this feeling usually starts before August 1. Lately, I have been waking up and thinking, I don't really want to do that today. Not in a dramatic way. I still have things to do. I still teach, write, answer emails, make plans, cook food, take care of the house, and show up for the people I love. But my body seems to have other ideas. My body is on a beach vacation in Italy....
