Hello,
And welcome.
This is Kim here,
And I'm happy to have you join me on this relaxing story to a beautiful old French chateau.
This particular building is inspired by the stunning Leylan Chateau,
With a few magical variations to enhance your experience into a deep and restorative sleep.
This session is created to help you drift into sleep naturally.
.
.
.
.
.
And easily.
.
.
.
.
.
Helping to strengthen your ability to naturally quiet your mind.
.
.
.
.
.
And connect with a tranquil still point of your body.
.
.
.
.
.
So that you take the benefits of this recording into sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
And into your everyday waking state.
.
.
.
.
.
I hope that you enjoy this recording.
.
.
.
.
.
And if you do.
.
.
.
.
.
Please like.
.
.
.
.
.
And share this video with friends and family.
.
.
.
.
.
Should you need to wake at all.
.
.
.
.
.
You will do so.
.
.
.
.
.
Tend to whatever requires your attention.
.
.
.
.
.
Return to bed.
.
.
.
.
.
And just by bringing your attention to the sensation of your body.
.
.
.
.
.
Lying in your bed.
.
.
.
.
.
You will quickly fall back to sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
Awaking only at a time that you set for yourself.
.
.
.
.
.
Feeling refreshed.
.
.
.
.
.
Optimistic.
.
.
.
.
.
And focused.
.
.
.
.
.
So when you are ready.
.
.
.
.
.
Please make yourself comfortable in your bed.
.
.
.
.
.
Take a deep breath in.
.
.
.
.
.
And as you slowly breathe out.
.
.
.
.
.
Close your eyes.
.
.
.
.
.
And begin to relax.
.
.
.
.
.
Taking this time before drifting into sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
To let go of the outside world.
.
.
.
.
.
To quiet your mind.
.
.
.
.
.
And relax your body.
.
.
.
.
.
Finding a place of stillness.
.
.
.
.
.
And peace.
.
.
.
.
.
Where you perceive contentment.
.
.
.
.
.
And bliss.
.
.
.
.
.
Bringing your attention now.
.
.
.
.
.
To the sensation of your breath.
.
.
.
.
.
Breathing deeply in.
.
.
.
.
.
And slowly out.
.
.
.
.
.
Aware of your tummy.
.
.
.
.
.
As it gently rises.
.
.
.
.
.
And falls as you breathe out.
.
.
.
.
.
Allowing your body to relax.
.
.
.
.
.
And feel yourself sink more deeply down into your bed.
.
.
.
.
.
And as your body relaxes.
.
.
.
.
.
Your mind too will slow.
.
.
.
.
.
And quiet.
.
.
.
.
.
There is absolutely nothing that you need to do.
.
.
.
.
.
Just lie back.
.
.
.
.
.
And listen.
.
.
.
.
.
So that everything you hear.
.
.
.
.
.
Every sound.
.
.
.
.
.
Every word.
.
.
.
.
.
Only helps you to let go more deeply.
.
.
.
.
.
Feeling serene.
.
.
.
.
.
And tranquil.
.
.
.
.
.
Everything can be.
.
.
.
.
.
Just as it is.
.
.
.
.
.
That you notice each and every word.
.
.
.
.
.
Helps you to relax.
.
.
.
.
.
Noticing also.
.
.
.
.
.
The silence beneath all sounds.
.
.
.
.
.
The space between the words.
.
.
.
.
.
And in your mind's eye now.
.
.
.
.
.
In your imagination.
.
.
.
.
.
You see.
.
.
.
.
.
Feel.
.
.
.
.
.
Experience yourself standing in the middle of a lavender field in France.
.
.
.
.
.
It is the end of a beautiful warm day.
.
.
.
.
.
And you can feel the gentle warmth of the setting sun on your skin.
.
.
.
.
.
Breathing in deeply.
.
.
.
.
.
Through your nose.
.
.
.
.
.
You are aware of the soothing aromatic scent of the lavender.
.
.
.
.
.
Perhaps mixed with the earthy tones of this beautiful landscape.
.
.
.
.
.
Looking out.
.
.
.
.
.
You watch the violet purple hue of the blossoms as they softly sway.
.
.
.
.
.
A gentle warm breeze blows across the field.
.
.
.
.
.
And the sun is setting on the horizon behind you.
.
.
.
.
.
The atmosphere of the scene is cast in a soft pinky light.
.
.
.
.
.
The scent of the lavender.
.
.
.
.
.
The sensation of the warm sun on your skin.
.
.
.
.
.
And the sound of little birds.
.
.
.
.
.
Making their way back to their nests for the night.
.
.
.
.
.
All these things only help you to relax more deeply.
.
.
.
.
.
You begin walking slowly through the field.
.
.
.
.
.
Noticing the soft touch of the lavender blossoms as they gently caress your skin.
.
.
.
.
.
Walking quietly.
.
.
.
.
.
And lazily.
.
.
.
.
.
Aware of the ground beneath your feet.
.
.
.
.
.
With each slow footstep.
.
.
.
.
.
Connecting with the peace.
.
.
.
.
.
And serenity of nature.
.
.
.
.
.
You notice how good it feels.
.
.
.
.
.
To just let go.
.
.
.
.
.
To bring peace.
.
.
.
.
.
And an awareness of tranquillity to your mind.
.
.
.
.
.
Body.
.
.
.
.
.
And soul.
.
.
.
.
.
You reach the edge of the lavender field.
.
.
.
.
.
And ahead of where you now stand.
.
.
.
.
.
Is a rolling lawn garden.
.
.
.
.
.
That takes you up to the white stone steps of the 16th century French Chateau.
.
.
.
.
.
Continuing to walk slowly across the lawn.
.
.
.
.
.
You may decide to remove your shoes.
.
.
.
.
.
And feel the cool freshness of the grass beneath your feet.
.
.
.
.
.
Each slow footstep.
.
.
.
.
.
Aware of the sensation of the earth.
.
.
.
.
.
You reach the terrace steps.
.
.
.
.
.
And as you begin to walk up the steps.
.
.
.
.
.
You are aware of the contrasting warmth of the flagstones against your bare feet.
.
.
.
.
.
There are beautiful and bountiful cascades of climbing roses.
.
.
.
.
.
Growing along the terrace balustrade.
.
.
.
.
.
And against the wall of the chateau.
.
.
.
.
.
Breathing in deeply.
.
.
.
.
.
You smell the calming perfume of the Bathsheba roses.
.
.
.
.
.
An aromatic mix of myrrh.
.
.
.
.
.
Honey.
.
.
.
.
.
And tea.
.
.
.
.
.
The roses are full rosettes with lots of petals of a pretty peach apricot hue.
.
.
.
.
.
And a hint of the softest yellow.
.
.
.
.
.
The chateau is made of warm coloured sandstone.
.
.
.
.
.
And in shape is made up of a pleasing combination of large square towers.
.
.
.
.
.
Defences.
.
.
.
.
.
And a semi-circular tower.
.
.
.
.
.
The double terrace doors are open.
.
.
.
.
.
And surrounding the large door frame are more roses.
.
.
.
.
.
The most beautiful.
.
.
.
.
.
And abundant that you have ever seen.
.
.
.
.
.
Walking in.
.
.
.
.
.
You see.
.
.
.
.
.
Feel.
.
.
.
.
.
Experience yourself now.
.
.
.
.
.
Standing at the foot of a circular staircase.
.
.
.
.
.
And here you will experience the first magical aspect of this beautiful home.
.
.
.
.
.
For this is a magical spiral staircase.
.
.
.
.
.
As you begin to walk up the stone steps.
.
.
.
.
.
You become aware of the sensation of the staircase silently rotating.
.
.
.
.
.
So that with each footstep.
.
.
.
.
.
You experience the staircase descending.
.
.
.
.
.
The landing to which the staircase leads is coming to you.
.
.
.
.
.
And to further help you deepen your state of calm.
.
.
.
.
.
To drift naturally down into sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
I will begin counting your footsteps from ten to one.
.
.
.
.
.
And with each descending number.
.
.
.
.
.
You feel your body relax more heavily.
.
.
.
.
.
Sinking deeper down into your bed.
.
.
.
.
.
And as your body relaxes.
.
.
.
.
.
Your mind too.
.
.
.
.
.
Feels quieter.
.
.
.
.
.
More serene.
.
.
.
.
.
And tranquil.
.
.
.
.
.
Starting on ten.
.
.
.
.
.
You are happy.
.
.
.
.
.
Calm.
.
.
.
.
.
And sleepy.
.
.
.
.
.
Nine.
.
.
.
.
.
A soft sensation of ease.
.
.
.
.
.
And comfort.
.
.
.
.
.
Flowing through you.
.
.
.
.
.
Eight.
.
.
.
.
.
Letting go to bliss.
.
.
.
.
.
And contentment.
.
.
.
.
.
Seven.
.
.
.
.
.
Quieter.
.
.
.
.
.
And quieter still.
.
.
.
.
.
Drifting down into a safe.
.
.
.
.
.
And peaceful state.
.
.
.
.
.
Six.
.
.
.
.
.
Floating.
.
.
.
.
.
And flowing.
.
.
.
.
.
Soothing soft waves.
.
.
.
.
.
Of serene.
.
.
.
.
.
Sleepy relaxation.
.
.
.
.
.
Five.
.
.
.
.
.
Deeper.
.
.
.
.
.
And deeper down.
.
.
.
.
.
Four.
.
.
.
.
.
Letting go to sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
To dreams.
.
.
.
.
.
Three.
.
.
.
.
.
Two.
.
.
.
.
.
One.
.
.
.
.
.
Continuing to drift.
.
.
.
.
.
And relax.
.
.
.
.
.
You see.
.
.
.
.
.
Feel.
.
.
.
.
.
Experience yourself standing in a round attic room.
.
.
.
.
.
The floor beneath your feet is made of polished dark oak floorboards.
.
.
.
.
.
And all around the curved walls of the attic.
.
.
.
.
.
You see ten large antique wardrobes.
.
.
.
.
.
And these two are made of wood.
.
.
.
.
.
Beautiful and individual in their design.
.
.
.
.
.
Each coming from a different period of history.
.
.
.
.
.
Some have beautiful and intricate carvings.
.
.
.
.
.
And inlays.
.
.
.
.
.
While others are simpler in pattern.
.
.
.
.
.
You begin walking slowly around this room.
.
.
.
.
.
Looking more closely at each of the wardrobes.
.
.
.
.
.
There is a large Victorian closet made of a beautiful rich mahogany.
.
.
.
.
.
With ornate leafy carvings along its top corners.
.
.
.
.
.
There is a huge satin wood armoire.
.
.
.
.
.
With three large doors containing old bevel edged mirrors in each of the panel doors.
.
.
.
.
.
And the mirrors have a beautiful antique silver mercury patina.
.
.
.
.
.
With little flecks of glitter showing its age.
.
.
.
.
.
And as you walk by each wardrobe.
.
.
.
.
.
You hear the soft sound of gentle music coming from within.
.
.
.
.
.
And each wardrobe has its own soporific melody.
.
.
.
.
.
Continuing to walk lazily.
.
.
.
.
.
Looking at each.
.
.
.
.
.
Perhaps noticing other particular styles that are a favourite of yours.
.
.
.
.
.
And you decide which wardrobe to open.
.
.
.
.
.
A decision that is known only to you.
.
.
.
.
.
Walking towards this wardrobe.
.
.
.
.
.
You silently open the closet door.
.
.
.
.
.
To hear the soothing music.
.
.
.
.
.
As it becomes a little louder.
.
.
.
.
.
A tune that is inviting.
.
.
.
.
.
You push back the beautiful garments on the rail.
.
.
.
.
.
And step inside.
.
.
.
.
.
And as you do.
.
.
.
.
.
You notice that the inside of the wardrobe is so much bigger than its exterior.
.
.
.
.
.
Within it is lit with a soft pinky yellow glow.
.
.
.
.
.
And you find that behind the first rail of clothes is another rail.
.
.
.
.
.
And this one too.
.
.
.
.
.
You slowly slide the hanging clothes apart.
.
.
.
.
.
To step deeper into the closet.
.
.
.
.
.
The clothes that are in this wardrobe are also clothes from different eras in time.
.
.
.
.
.
Pushing past the third rail of clothes.
.
.
.
.
.
You find yourself standing in a cosy Victorian bedroom.
.
.
.
.
.
You may choose to look more closely at some of the garments on the rails.
.
.
.
.
.
Noticing the gorgeous fabrics and textures.
.
.
.
.
.
In this bedroom.
.
.
.
.
.
The richly coloured curtains are drawn across the two windows.
.
.
.
.
.
There is a large four-poster bed.
.
.
.
.
.
With the most beautiful of bed linen.
.
.
.
.
.
And opposite the bed.
.
.
.
.
.
There is a small fireplace.
.
.
.
.
.
With a high-backed armchair.
.
.
.
.
.
The room is lit by a few lanterns that are ensconced on the wall.
.
.
.
.
.
And a larger one that stands on the pretty dressing table.
.
.
.
.
.
Placed between the two bedroom windows.
.
.
.
.
.
It has a beautiful velvet coloured chair.
.
.
.
.
.
And upon this chair.
.
.
.
.
.
You find your very own freshly laundered bedclothes.
.
.
.
.
.
These are particular to your own preferred style.
.
.
.
.
.
So putting them on.
.
.
.
.
.
You feel the soft fabric against your skin.
.
.
.
.
.
You are feeling warm and snug.
.
.
.
.
.
And you take a seat in the large comfortable armchair near the fireplace.
.
.
.
.
.
The golden light of the warm fire flickers softly.
.
.
.
.
.
Casting dancing shadows across the beautiful Persian rug.
.
.
.
.
.
Sitting back in the armchair.
.
.
.
.
.
You notice that there is a porcelain mug.
.
.
.
.
.
Or glass of your favourite night-time drink.
.
.
.
.
.
So making yourself comfy in the armchair.
.
.
.
.
.
You sit back and enjoy your drink.
.
.
.
.
.
Watching the flickering fire.
.
.
.
.
.
And listening to the soft crackle of the burning lugs.
.
.
.
.
.
And the ticking of the grandfather clock.
.
.
.
.
.
Breathing in.
.
.
.
.
.
You notice the soothing scent of the beeswax.
.
.
.
.
.
Mixed with a relaxing aroma of sandalwood.
.
.
.
.
.
Amber.
.
.
.
.
.
And lavender.
.
.
.
.
.
A perfume that only helps you to feel more tranquil.
.
.
.
.
.
And content.
.
.
.
.
.
You slowly close your eyes.
.
.
.
.
.
And as you do.
.
.
.
.
.
You are immediately transported into your four-poster bed.
.
.
.
.
.
Feeling so relaxed.
.
.
.
.
.
And comfortable.
.
.
.
.
.
You can feel the fresh bed linen against your skin.
.
.
.
.
.
And the mattress beneath you is the most comfortable that you have ever known.
.
.
.
.
.
So.
.
.
.
.
.
Bringing your attention now to the sensation of your body.
.
.
.
.
.
Lying in your bed.
.
.
.
.
.
I will guide you slowly.
.
.
.
.
.
Through a sleepy body scan.
.
.
.
.
.
And as your attention travels over your body.
.
.
.
.
.
You allow that part to relax more deeply.
.
.
.
.
.
Letting go.
.
.
.
.
.
To sensations of ease.
.
.
.
.
.
And comfort.
.
.
.
.
.
Sinking deeper down into your bed.
.
.
.
.
.
Starting at the crown of your head.
.
.
.
.
.
And your attention travels slowly down your forehead.
.
.
.
.
.
And gently over your eyes.
.
.
.
.
.
Letting go of all those small facial muscles.
.
.
.
.
.
As your attention travels over.
.
.
.
.
.
And continuing to flow softly down your cheeks.
.
.
.
.
.
And across your jaw.
.
.
.
.
.
Parting your teeth just a little.
.
.
.
.
.
So that soothing waves of ease.
.
.
.
.
.
And peace.
.
.
.
.
.
Help you to relax more deeply.
.
.
.
.
.
Travelling slowly down the back of your neck.
.
.
.
.
.
Tingling sensations of bliss.
.
.
.
.
.
Softly and lightly.
.
.
.
.
.
Across your shoulders.
.
.
.
.
.
And down your arms.
.
.
.
.
.
To your wrists.
.
.
.
.
.
To your hands.
.
.
.
.
.
To the tips of your fingers.
.
.
.
.
.
Quieter.
.
.
.
.
.
And quieter still.
.
.
.
.
.
Across your chest.
.
.
.
.
.
And softly down to your tummy.
.
.
.
.
.
Feel.
.
.
.
.
.
Experience the sleepy serenity.
.
.
.
.
.
As it flows across your upper back.
.
.
.
.
.
And slowly down.
.
.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
.
.
Down.
.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to your lower back.
.
.
.
.
.
Down your buttocks.
.
.
.
.
.
And your pelvis.
.
.
.
.
.
To your legs.
.
.
.
.
.
Melting deeply down into your mattress.
.
.
.
.
.
As a gentle touch of your awareness continues down your body.
.
.
.
.
.
Your thighs.
.
.
.
.
.
Knees.
.
.
.
.
.
Calves.
.
.
.
.
.
To your ankles.
.
.
.
.
.
And your feet.
.
.
.
.
.
All the way down to the tips of your toes.
.
.
.
.
.
Drifting down into sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
Your subconscious mind will continue to process the benefits of this recording while you sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
And dream.
.
.
.
.
.
Drifting.
.
.
.
.
.
And floating.
.
.
.
.
.
Aware of the quiet space within.
.
.
.
.
.
That lies beyond your thoughts.
.
.
.
.
.
Sleeping deeply throughout the night.
.
.
.
.
.
And awaking only at a time that you set for yourself.
.
.
.
.
.
Feeling positive.
.
.
.
.
.
Refreshed.
.
.
.
.
.
And calm.
.
.
.
.
.
Letting go now.
.
.
.
.
.
To sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
Sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
Sleep.
.
.
.
.
.
