Calm Pills - Soothing Space Ambient and Piano Music for Relaxing, Peaceful Sleep, Reading or Mindful Meditation

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills "In each of us There once was a fire And for some of us There seem as if there are only ashes now But when we dig in the ashes We find one ember And very gently we fan that ember Blow on it It gets brighter And from that ember we rebuild the fire Only thing that's important is that ember That's what you and I are here to celebrate The ember gets stronger Flame starts to flicker a bit And pretty soon you realize that...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills "Cold and drifting, nothingness and floating, swimming through zero gravity, A thought emerges slowly, drudging through the whale's mind. "What is this..?" This lonesome earth is not my home I'm just wanderin' through I'm waiting on my chariot ride To home beyond the blue. What splendor there awaits!" ― From Final Thoughts of a Whale in Space by Monica Belle Brand, weaved in with Awaiting Splendor by Kenny...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills This mix is an ode to one of my favorite ambient mix series of the same name by Alex Hephaestian. Themed around highlighting ethnic ambient music from around the world, Alex's mix series (which you can stream on Mixcloud) shows such mastery in combining exquisite mixing and mystical storytelling. It chronicles the journey of Oushie who travels far from his home to visit Ethni-City the capital of the land where he was born. My...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills "When you fall in love with a work of art, you’d die to meet the artist. I am a student of the galleries of Pacific sunsets, full moon rises on the ocean, the clouds from an airplane, autumn forests in Raleigh, and first fallen snows. And I’m dying to meet the artist." Poetry by Yasmin Mogahed, from her book Reclaim Your Heart Making this mix was a labor of love. If you feel like supporting Calm Pills online radio & podcast...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills "The sun is so beautiful in the early morning. It does something to the trees that you don’t see any other time of the day. I think we all want the same thing: A quiet peace. Maybe just even a single moment of it, to close our eyes and just be okay. For even a single second, to not feel worried about something, sad about something. To not crave something we don’t–or can’t–have. Just to be there, okay. Still. Silent. On the inside....

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills This mix is inspired by heal., a magnificent meditative album by the talented man behind Project AER. He usually produces heartfelt lofi music, but when he turns to ambient, his work lives up to that of the best you've ever heard. "What's meant for you will be The rest will fade away Just give it time and see That some things just can't stay Don't think that they are lost But rather just observe Your heart now has more...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills To Chris, in celebration of his birthday, life, and legacy. He would have been 37 today (Jan 13). Less than a year ago, his passing was our rebirth. It imbued me, his sister and his family with a sense of duty to live out his legacy. The life that he could have had. The life he would have wished for us. Rest in peace my friend. "So it begins my friend. The end, but not the end. The end of a chapter. The end of a stanza. A...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills As 2021 comes to a wrap, it feels like we should be seeing the pandemic off, but the reality is anything but. With more imposed restrictions coinciding with the holiday season, I released this mix to hopefully provide solace to those celebrating alone or unable to spend it with some of their loved ones. Musically, this mix features 3 tracks from a masterpiece new album by Jon Hopkins called Music for Psychedelic Therapy. Test...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills It's my 39 birthday today :) 🎂 Inspired by the soothing music of Human Is Alive (humanisalive.bandcamp.com), I wanted this mix to induce reminiscence of happy moments from our past. Amidst the swirl of incessant, attention-demanding world we live in, I sometimes get these fleeting recollections of past events, people, or even things that brought me joy. I made this mix for such moments, so it can hopefully fade to the background...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills This mix was released 6 years ago as part of my Drifter ambient series, which I created under my previous pseudonym DJ Seroton. It was the first collaboration I have done with the talented musician Tonepoet, who creates an excellent ambient mix podcast called Spaceman's Transmissions. This is what Tonepoet had to say about the mix and our collaboration: "Music speaks across boundaries of time, distance, and language, and what we...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills There are 3 principles guiding the creation of Calm Pill mixes: song curation with variety, production value, and showcasing artists. On the last one, every Calm Pill mix features several artists whose great music deserves to be discovered and heard, but every now and then, a whole artist album inspires a mix of its own, and this is one such mix. I'd like to present to you the debut album of marine eyes: idyll...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills "There's a place where I go that no one else knows, Where mysteries abound and excitement grows. A place out of reach of any man's hands, Safely secluded in a far away land Beyond the grasp of those who may plunder The wealth of its power and its life changing wonder. I go alone to my secret place, never leaving a trace For someone to follow and discover my space Where I keep my secrets, my fears, and my regrets Away from...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills As I lay my head to rest, I pray my dreaming will be blessed: With glittering starlight upon the moon, Floating like a lost balloon. With chuckling streams that catch the light, And songbirds trilling with delight. With soft white clouds in pure blue skies, A lilting breeze that gently sighs. With weeping willows that quietly droop Their shadows, as they drape and stoop. With blossom scents that chase the air, Like...

Calm Pill library of mixes has grown over the years and many new listeners will not get to hear most of them due to how podcast episodes are presented (last to first), so it made sense to launch this station to help you discover your next favorite Calm Pill mix. Hope you enjoy the...

CalmRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills I dedicated my last Chill Pill mix to my best friend who left this world all too quickly last month from his short-lived flight with COVID. Since then, and following the funeral that I couldn't attend in person, I fell into a deep existential breaking point as I realized the fragility of life, and grabbled with the conviction that this can't be all that we are, all that we live for, and all that remains of us. I imagined that even...
