Breathe

...and now breathe out, let it all go.

Welcome to a sanctuary for your mind and soul. If you're craving more peace and fulfillment in your life, you've come to the right place

Maybe you find yourself caught in the cycle of stress and exhaustion, yearning for a more fulfilling and joyful life. Perhaps you often crave moments of peace and tranquility, longing for a deeper connection to the happiness and contentment that life has to offer.

You know you need to slow down and take it easy; you know you want to take time just for yourself but don’t know where to start.

A meditation practice might be exactly what is seeking to enter your life right now.

There is a tiny silent gap in between one thought and the next one. Meditation helps you get in contact with that gap, and with a regular practice you’ll notice how that gap becomes more spacious bringing with it a sense of calm and centeredness.

Embark on a journey of self-discovery through my offerings, where you'll uncover the secrets to cultivating inner peace, rejuvenating your spirit, and embracing each day with renewed clarity and purpose.

I specialize in two meditation practices designed to help you slow down, find deep rest, relax, and effortlessly release stress: Primordial Sound Meditation (also known as Chopra Meditation) and I AM Yoga Nidra.

My intention is to help people stop all the doing and settle into just being by getting in touch with silence through meditation. These are the different tools I offer, feel free to browse through them and learn more.

Why "Meditation & Rest"?

Meditation

Our lives are cluttered with noise: the news, social media, our constantly beeping phones, the streets, and even our own thoughts. Noise everywhere. Have you ever noticed the sudden silence that ensues when the fridge or a ventilation system suddenly stops? It is then you notice the effect this noise you had just normalized has in you and enjoy this deep silence. You may even let out a long sigh and notice that your body spontaneously unclenches and relaxes.

This feeling of quietude and peace is available to you without the need to control your surroundings. Underneath all the turmoil there is silence. Our true, free essence resides there. This silent space can be accessed through meditation.

Your heart’s nature is to beat. And your mind’s nature is to think, putting your mind in blank is therefore impossible! Meditation is not about leaving your mind free of thoughts, it is about transcending them.

​

and Rest

I am one of those persons whose life changed upon the diagnosis “burnout”. I remember my doctor telling me to rest and my very confused, busy head asking, “what does it mean? how do you do that? How do I rest?” It was then I understood a fundamental shift needed to happen, and I turned to a regular meditation practice, that silent space where I could let go of all doing and finally rest. I found so much peace and compassion I understood this needed to be shared with the world. 

I decided to deepen my knowledge and get certifications in two ancient meditation practices––Primordial Sound Meditation and Yoga Nidra.

This is how I've decided to serve our world.

​Our society is extremely focused on being productive, doing doing doing, performing, and other structures that are wearing us out and keeping us far away from our true essence. Rest is seen as something you earn only after hard work or when ill. I disagree. I believe rest is a right we all have, as well as a basic need. Carving out spaces to rest deeply should be a priority in our daily life. That’s why I've created some spaces dedicated to the beautiful practice of Yoga Nidra where you can allow yourself to stop all the doing and settle into being.

In time, Primordial Sound Meditation and Yoga Nidra have become my practices to be free, truly free from all roles, and self-imposed limitations and expectations. This is my truth and what I want to share with you.

Benefits of Meditation

Whatever it is you do, it will be enriched and benefit from a regular meditation practice. You will feel calmer and that you can act from a place of presence and awareness.

Meditation is the antidote to stress, and with a regular practice, you will get better at being, not just doing.

A regular meditation practice has many science-proven emotional and physical benefits, among them:

  • Reduced stress

  • Better management of stressful situations

  • Better relationship with your thoughts, without judgment

  • Decreased anxiety levels

  • Increased compassion and tolerance, towards others and yourself

  • Better focus and concentration

  • Improved sleep quality

  • Increased creativity

  • Learn to focus in the present moment

The meditation techniques I practice and teach are effortless and easy to practice. You don't need to sit up straight in uncomfortable positions or perform a series of physically demanding postures. Primordial Sound Meditation and I AM Yoga Nidra allow your body to settle into a profound relaxation state so you can achieve inner peace and come back there again, and again.

Starting and sustaining a meditation practice might take time and patience. I am here to support you and guide you along the way.

  • Within the mental sheath, made up of waves of thought, there is contained the sheath of wisdom.

What some of my students are saying

  • For me, Primordial Sound Meditation has been an extraordinary experience. I managed to incorporate this practice in my daily life effortlessly and with joy. I have embraced meditation as an expression of self-care and self-love, which makes me really happy. The silence I get in touch with through this technique, offers an opportunity to connect to myself––it is a silence that gives rise to harmony and generates a deep rest that makes my spirit feel strengthened. ​ I took the course in a group setting and the mutual support and exchange of experiences, enriched all participants. Ana María managed to share her knowledge with ease and generosity, in addition to showing warmth and great empathy.

    Anita

  • Primordial Sound Meditation has been a crucial tool to elevate my meditation practice. Even though a regular practice is not possible due to my workload, Ana María’s methods and teachings have helped me understand the great benefits of meditation and encouraged me to find an effortless way to practice. Despite me not being a steadfast student, Ana’s easy, fun, and above all, loving and kind teachings and instructions have helped me approach a sometimes-elusive meditation practice. I am aware that I don’t practice as often as I should, but I have fit this practice into my life much better than any other technique, and that has been possible thanks to Ana’s support and patience. I really am a fan of her way of teaching!

  • For me, this course was all about openings. An opening to a new experience, to new knowledge, and to share with others. It was also an opening to learning from Ana who shared her knowledge and experience in a humble and loving manner. I was fortunate enough to take Ana’s very first course, which made the experience even more special. I have tried other types of meditation, and I can say that for me this method is the more functional one. It really helps me a lot as it allows me to connect easier than other techniques I have tried. The most important learning I take from this course, is that it doesn’t matter if I meditate 10, 15, or 30 minutes, the most important thing is to carve out that time to connect to yourself, to gift yourself with this well-deserved, but rarely given space.

  • Primordial Sound Meditation helps me minimize the daily stressors of life and thrive.  Ana María's expertise with PSM helped me learn simple and easy to use techniques. The daily practice has given me the ability to focus and make clear decisions which amplify how I live my life. Thank you for opening up a new world of complete inner calmness. Much love!

    Vanessa

  • Yoga Nidra is a very relaxing journey and Ana María is the perfect guide for it. She is very trustworthy and gives clear instructions, which is the guarantor of a relaxing session. I would highly recommend this for anyone in need of tools to relax and focus.
