Breathe…
...and now breathe out, let it all go.
Welcome to a space for presence, attention and contemplation.
In a world that asks so much of our attention, meditation offers an opportunity to pause, to notice, and to meet whatever is here with curiosity rather than judgment.
This is a space for presence, not performance.
I offer meditative practices that invite you to slow down, pay attention and explore your experience beyond the intellect and without judgment. My work draws from contemplative traditions including Primordial Sound Meditation and Yoga Nidra, alongside an ongoing curiosity about meditation, awareness and what it means to be human.
You won’t find quick fixes here.
Instead, you’ll find practices that offer time and space to pause, rest, explore, and reconnect.
Sessions are available in English, Spanish and Swedish, online and in person.

About Me
My name is Ana María Bermeo, and I’m so glad you found your way here.
I’m a meditation teacher and lifelong student of contemplative practice. I work with Primordial Sound Meditation and I AM Yoga Nidra, traditions that have been part of my own exploration for many years.
My approach is grounded in attention, curiosity, care, and a willingness to question. I believe contemplative practice begins with honest attention to our own experience, beyond the intellect and without judgment, and can open us to a deeper relationship with ourselves and the world around us.
I don’t believe in quick fixes, unquestioned authority, or performing spirituality. I value practice, study, discernment, and the willingness to keep asking questions.
My work may particularly resonate with thoughtful, curious people who are looking for something deeper than another wellness technique, and who want a space to slow down, explore, and simply pay attention.
I teach in Spanish, English, and Swedish, online and in person.
Welcome!
Why "Meditation & Rest"?
Meditation
We live in constant noise — the news, notifications, conversations, and the mind's never-ending stream of thoughts. Sometimes, it's only when the fridge stops humming that we realize just how much noise we've normalized.
Meditation offers something different: a chance to pause, pay attention, and become aware of our experience without immediately judging or trying to change it.
Not control, not escape, but transcendence.
A way to go beyond the mind’s constant activity and experience the stillness that’s always present underneath.
Your heart’s nature is to beat. Your mind’s nature is to think.
Meditation isn’t about stopping thoughts or becoming someone else. It’s about learning to be with what is, and discovering what may lie beyond the mind’s constant activity.
and Rest
How do you rest?
I didn’t know.
Not really.
For a long time, I understood rest mostly as something that happened after everything else was done. It took time for me to understand that rest is not something we earn after exhaustion. It is a need, and a practice.
Meditation had already been part of my life for many years, but my relationship with rest changed when I began exploring practices such as Primordial Sound Meditation and I AM Yoga Nidra.
Rest can be an opportunity to step out of doing, to soften the pressure to perform, and to give ourselves time and space simply to be.
This is part of what I offer: spaces where you can pause, rest, and be present without having to achieve anything.
The Benefits of a Regular Meditation Practice
Meditation is not something we practice simply to become calmer, more productive, or better versions of ourselves. Its value can be much less measurable, and much more personal.
With regular practice, we may become more familiar with the activity of our own minds, more attentive to our experience, and more able to pause before reacting. We may discover moments of clarity, steadiness, compassion, or simply a little more space around whatever is happening.
The benefits of meditation are not always dramatic, and they are not the same for everyone. Sometimes the practice feels peaceful. Sometimes it brings us face to face with things we'd rather avoid. Both can be part of the practice.
What matters to me is not achieving a particular state, but creating the conditions for attention, awareness, and deeper exploration.
The practices I teach are designed to be accessible and effortless. You don't need to sit in uncomfortable positions or perform physically demanding postures. Primordial Sound Meditation and I AM Yoga Nidra offer different ways of cultivating awareness and exploring what lies beyond the constant activity of the mind.
A regular practice takes time. There is no need to rush it.
