On the SoulStream “Living from the Heart” podcast, we explore encountering God personally, integrating body, soul, mind, and spirit to live authentically in Christ. We discuss becoming open to God’s presence, overcoming obstacles, embracing transformation into Jesus’ image, and cultivating supportive practices. Additionally, we delve into understanding prayer as responsive to the Holy Spirit, ancient practices, and living out contemplative prayer to love neighbors, care for the earth, and seek justice.
What does it mean to truly come home to yourself? In this episode of the SoulStream Living from the Heart Podcast, I have the privilege of speaking with Tracy Cochran, author of Presence: The Art of Being at Home in Yourself. Tracy is a gifted meditation teacher whose journey has been one of discovering presence not only in peaceful moments but in life’s most challenging circumstances.
Join us as we explore how mindfulness can be a refuge, how mystery is an invitation to wisdom, and how Metta—loving-kindness meditation—can transform the way we relate to ourselves and others. Tracy shares stories of resilience, including her experience of embracing a voice tremor that became a profound teacher. She offers insights that bridge the wisdom of Christian contemplation with the gentle compassion of Buddhist practice.
This is a conversation about letting go of perfection, embracing the unknown, and finding kindness for yourself along the way. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, Tracy’s words will resonate with your heart.
