Cypress Rosewood is enjoying family time this morning, so Cup of Calm is taking over the hour. Join RadioSpiral for an hour of live meditation music beginning at 8am Pacific/SLT, with your guest host, ʞu¡0ɹʞS.
As the autumn foliage turns from brilliant reds and golds to brown and falls to the ground, the world begins to take on its winter hues of greys and silvers — a different kind of beauty all its own. Let’s explore the greys of autumn…
In the crisp Autumn morning, pour a cup of something warm, inhale the aroma and let it calm your spirits…
As Autumn settles in and becomes winter, the dry leaves blow around, the chill settles in, and we feel the coming of winter. We draw inward, and remember to steep warm drinks and wear the clothes that embrace us for the colder season. Today let’s settle in with a cup of something warm and listen to the leaves as we hear meditative music for autumn…
Several mornings now, I have been captivated by the morning sun, which comes up as we’re preparing breakfast and getting ready for our day in the ʞu¡0ɹʞS household. There is something about the light in the morning, both before and after the sun comes up, that sets one’s soul to rights. So this morning we will meditate in the morning sun.
This weekend promises to be … ah … lively, and a bit fraught, for folks living in the United States. I offer you a moment of calm and centering before wading into the fray.
One of the most rewarding sensations is a good, thorough stretch, especially early in the morning. So, wake up gently, pour yourself a warm cup of something, and take the time to stretch fully.
Plant your feet, and remember what it’s like to be close to the earth. Breathe deeply, reach downward to the roots of the planet that sustains us. Draw peace and comfort from her, and share that with the world around you. This morning’s show includes a grounding meditation. Join us for some calming connection to the earth.

The journey itself is the point as much as is the destination. So what happens when you reach the end of the road? Look back and remember the journey, keep its lessons, hold the memories of people and places you met along the way, and carry them with you.
Stepping stones are symbols of progress, of movement to a better place. Today let us step calmly into a better place, even if only for a little while.
The rains in summer happen every day in some parts of the world. When the combination of conditions make the sky empty itself on to the ground, the world turns vivid — brilliant greens, deep browns… and the sounds! Thunder, the rain on the leaves, the frogs… it’s auditory heaven. Let’s play in the rain!
Explore the space between spaces, the borderlands where awake and asleep meet, where water and earth touch, that trembling breath between silence and song, where life and dreams tremble in balance.
Follow your spirit down into the deep. There you may find wonder, joy, hope, peace, and healing.
I’ve been thinking a lot about spiders and their webs lately, and how good they are at using the environment around them to weave their homes. We could all learn from that — both in our physical surroundings and our understanding of how deeply connected we are to the world around us, even if we forget that (often). So today, we weave.
While we can't spend every moment of our lives in bliss, we can certainly cherish those rare, brilliant moments.
Sit in a place where you can feel a gentle breeze. Close your eyes, and feel it whisper past your skin.
Darkness alone cannot extinguish the light, but even a single light can banish the darkness.
Happy Weekend, friends! Take a moment to breathe and be calm with us on this edition of Morning Cup of Calm.
