Mindfulness as seen through a walk. The subject of Mindfulness takes many forms. Today I share my experiences with mindfulness on a recent walk. How do we disengage our minds? I liken it to disengaging the clutch

Disengage the Clutch for a Mindful Experience

Something's missing in your life. You feel it. You know it.

But you keep telling yourself everything's fine.

That gnawing emptiness? The one you try to fill with advice from friends about your dating life or career choices? It's not going away until you face what's really happening.

You're trapped in patterns YOU created.

In this raw conversation, Tracy digs into why you keep hitting the same walls in relationships and life. It's not about getting more advice—it's about finally seeing the truth about yourself.

In this episode, Tracy explores:

* Why your emotions keep you stuck in destructive patterns
* How self-deception blocks authentic connections
* The uncomfortable work of real self-awareness
* Breaking through fear to build genuine relationships
* Using soul plan readings to uncover your true purpose

"Your patterns aren't happening TO you. They're happening THROUGH you." ~ Tracy Crossley

#805: My life is good, but something is missing (REBROADCAST)

Wonder Beneath the Moon is a bluesy folk retelling of the Lotus Sūtra’s King Wonderful-Adornment story.

With guitar and harmonica, it paints the moment when a powerful father lays down his crown after hearing his two sons’ quiet truth. No miracles, no fireworks—only the slow, soul-deep power of love and insight. The song celebrates transformation that comes from within: turning an old life into a new story, letting wisdom wash away anger, and finding a peaceful kingdom hidden in the heart.

Lyrics: 
Verse 1
A father wore a kingdom like a stone-cold crown,
Counting battles and borders, weighing every town.
But his two young sons walked a quieter mile,
Found a well of mercy, found a reason to smile.

Chorus
They sang him a blues, a slow, truth-telling tune,
Showed him a wonder beneath the hot-afternoon moon.
No water to wine, no stone into gold—
Just a heart re-written and a new story told.

Verse 2
He caught his own reflection in their fearless eyes,
Saw a power unchained from force or lies.
Watched anger fall like a summer rain,
Felt the clean stream wash his pain.
Laid down the iron, let the silence in,
Found a peaceful kingdom deep under his skin.

Chorus
They sang him a blues, a slow, truth-telling tune,
Showed him a wonder beneath the hot-afternoon moon.
No water to wine, no stone into gold—
Just a heart re-written and a new story told.

Bridge
Some chase lightning, some chase flame,
Think a show of magic will change the game.
But the strongest spell you’ll ever cast
Is the love you open and the fear you outlast.

Chorus (repeat)
They sang him a blues, a slow, truth-telling tune,
Showed him a wonder beneath the hot-afternoon moon.
No water to wine, no stone into gold—
Just a heart re-written and a new story told.

Outro
He set down his crown, he laid down his sword,
Walked home lighter with every word.
Every word, yeah—every word.

A lot of us live in our head, disconnected from our feelings and intuition. This podcast touches on releasing insecure attachment, accepting your authentic self and getting “unstuck” by connecting to how you FEEL instead of how you THINK. I’ve been there, and discuss sensitive subjects using my own experiences with a lot of laughs and even more empathy… because we’re all flawed humans.
