Sleep: Visualizing Of A Beautiful Island

Hi friend,

And welcome to this visualization of a beautiful island for sleep.

There is a small island off the western coast of France called Belil-en-Mer.

It's a beautiful rocky island where the weather is cool.

As I describe it to you,

You're going to get cozy and comfortable in your bed,

And allow yourself to drift off into sleep.

So make sure you have your favorite pillow and snuggle up in just the position you like.

We're starting off by you riding the ferry from the mainland.

I've decided to take a seat on the bow of the boat so that you can watch the island you're traveling to slowly become larger as the ferry grows closer.

The weather is cool but not too cold,

And there is a steady headwind on the bow of the boat as it skims across the sea.

There are some metal benches for people to sit in,

But you decide to stand at the railing of the boat so that you can see the water rushing past below.

You look down at the water and hear the sounds of the ocean lapping on the side of the ferry boat.

The wind is slightly salty and refreshing,

Catching your clothes and making them dance on your body.

The sound of the Indians is loud yet calming.

And there are people sitting on the benches talking in French as they watch the same scenery as you are.

A few kids are enjoying the ride more than anyone else,

Pointing and smiling throughout the entire trip.

The ferry engine slows because it's coming into the port.

The captain maneuvers the boat perfectly,

Docking with precision.

Several workers get off the boat before it even comes to a full stop,

Grabbing all sorts of ropes to tie securely and bows to act as a buffer between the dock and the ferry.

A small bridge extends off to the side of the boat to allow for passengers to exit,

And a larger ramp on the end of the boat slowly lowers to allow for the cars it carried across the bay to drive off.

The whole process of unloading everything goes so smoothly and there's no rushing and no waiting in line.

You can hear some seabirds flying overhead as you enter the beautiful village.

Four-story buildings lined by the seaside colored in whites and creams with some painted light pink and yellow.

Rooftops are a matching grey and you can see each building has a few chimneys for when the weather turns cold.

Some buildings have very small balconies,

Like only big enough to hold a few potted plants and the shutters of the windows vary from mint green to leaf green and some are the shades of dark pink.

This is a beautiful little town,

Bustling with the energy of its people.

The village is situated in a cove so that it's protected from the sea.

When you turn to look into the turquoise water and across the marina full of small boats,

You see the sprawling nature of the island.

Golden and green hues of tall grass stretched across the rocky shore.

You can make out some old wartime buildings that have turned into ruins and see small windows that the soldiers could peek out of to see enemy ships approaching.

Nature has taken over these structures,

Grasses are growing high around them and vines are clinging to the walls now.

Strong cedar trees are thriving on this island as well as a few other varieties of shorter trees.

The trees cannot really grow very tall here because of the high winds coming off the bay.

You begin to walk through the village and there are bicycles lining the streets along with some scooters and small motorcycles.

There are various places to dine that have areas outside where you can sit.

You can see that the tables and the chairs of these different establishments are placed closely together.

Some shops you pass by are filled to the brim with one-of-a-kind paintings flashing their beauty through the windows enticing people to enter the gallery and buy one to take home.

You're enjoying the simple geometric shapes of the architecture and how so many windows are open letting the fresh air in.

You can see that some of the open windows have white curtains dancing in the wind.

As you pass by a busy crepe shop you can smell the aroma of chocolate and the batter of the crepe cooking.

People are delightfully eating their crepe and you can see them stuffed with various kinds of delicious ingredients.

Maybe you'll stop by later to have a crepe or maybe two but for now you want to walk along the nature footpath nearby to begin exploring this beautiful island.

As you walk away from the village there are several footpaths through the tall grass that lead to various nature areas,

Ruins and beautiful secluded coves with turquoise waters and sandy beaches.

You decide to take the path that leads to the cliffside to see the beautiful sights of the windswept offshore jacket rock formations towering from sea below that Klothmunny painted many years ago.

You walk along the beige colored footpath with so many footsteps before you have walked and notice the low growing plant life surrounding you are the colors of sage green.

Smoother the rocks aid as steps taking you up to the cliffside and as you climb you can see the cobble blue horizon of the bay peeking over the hillside in front of you.

Remember being careful with your steps because a fall from this cliff into the sea will not be nice.

The sound of the mighty ocean presents itself as a deep roar and low hissing and splashing sounds.

Waves have been crashing and carving this landscape for thousands of years.

You make it to the exact view that Booné once put on his canvas and it is spectacular.

A dozen jacket rocks are congregating in the sea growing from large at the base to more narrow at the tops.

No two are the same.

They almost look like dancers striking a pose in the bay.

From the point you're standing you're so high above sea level that you're somewhat looking down on these magnificent structures.

Their tops do not even cross the horizon line where the ocean meets the sky.

The only plant life that can grow on these rocks as is a dark green blanket covering the lower half because the sea below is frothing with energy and winds are demanding.

This is not the ocean you want to swim in.

The waves are viciously splashing against the cliffs and rocks turning the turquoise water white with bubbles.

Watch the sunset turn the ocean pink and the sky violet.

Now find a soft place to sit and soak up this moment into your memory forever.

The sunset is growing to darkness and it's time for you to make your way to your hotel.

Give one last glance to this beautiful scene and thank it for blessing your mind.

As you walk back along the footpath you came in on the sounds of the ocean gently fade away until all you can hear are the eager footsteps taking you to where you will get a good night's sleep.

The sky is turning light orange where the sun is escaping and dark blue and night draws in.

The footpath winds and turns leading to a narrow road that is also a beige and grey color.

A gravel road that can only fit one car at a time.

You pass by houses in the countryside and they're all white with grey rooftops.

There are large protective white doors that cover over the doors and windows of these summer homes to protect them from any strong winds that hit the island.

Most of these houses are closed up but you see that some of them are lived in by locals.

As you walk down this road magnificent cedar trees line your path.

There are grapes growing in the rows behind someone's home.

You can see roses blooming in all sorts of colors.

The scenery in the distance is rolling hills dotted with white houses that are all closed up and protected.

You're making your way back to the marina and the streets become paved again.

The small cars on this island are parked parallel so close to you to one another it's hard to figure out how they can even get out.

There are a few more blocks to go before your hotel and you're enjoying every moment of this walk.

The sky is dark but the moon is almost full illuminating everything with its cool glow.

You're getting closer to your hotel you haven't been there yet so you don't know exactly what to expect.

A warm glow emits from a building that is drawing closer and you can see a small sign that reads L'Hotel de Belle.

This is your hotel and you're so ready to rest after this long and beautiful day.

The old door is painted creamy green.

The window panes in the door are old and look like the surface of water.

You grasp the brass handle and it's cool in your hand.

The door opens effortless welcoming you like it's welcomed many others before you.

There's a French man who greets you with bonjour and gets your information.

He hands you a gold key and tells you that the room is on the sixth floor facing the ocean.

You don't have anything but your backpack with you so you make your way up the stairs that seem like they were built for a very small person.

Six flights up and you come to your room 609.

The old key slides into the lock and you open the door to a beautifully made bed with crisp white seats and more pillows than anyone could need.

There's no television just two very beautiful lamps with shades that match the green of the front door sitting top matching bedside tables hand built from wood.

Put your things down and make your way to the small restroom it's perfectly clean and is only big enough to fit you.

The shower is welcoming but you would rather save it for the morning.

Gaze into the mirror before getting into bed to see your happy face and how grateful and lucky you are to be right here right now.

You want to make your way to the beds and turn the covers back.

You lie down and the sheets are softer than you imagined they would be.

This bed is very comfortable.

Laying down and completely relaxing your body you're surrounded by white pillows.

You gaze at the windows of your room and you can see the moonlight glimmering on the surface of the ocean like the way diamonds shimmer in the lights.

Allow your eyes to gently close now looking forward to the day ahead.

Good night and sleep wonderfully.
