Ajapa Japa: the Foundation of Yoga-Tantra Practice
Ajapa Japa is the essential meditation upon which all Yoga-Tantra practices rest. This complete system for healing, self-development, and spiritual awareness reveals the mantra at the core of your being, vibrating you into existence. By aligning with this universal sound vibration, you connect your individual self with the expansive cosmos, experiencing a life of authenticity, meaning, and harmony.
What is Ajapa Japa?
Ajapa Japa is a profound meditation technique from the Yoga-Tantra tradition, where "Ajapa" means "spontaneous" or "effortless," and "Japa" refers to the repetition of a mantra. Together, Ajapa Japa signifies the effortless, automatic repetition of a mantra that happens with the natural breath. This practice involves synchronising the breath with a mantra, allowing the practitioner to tap into the universal sound vibration resonating at the core of their being.
The Essence of Ajapa Japa
- Effortless Mantra Repetition: Unlike traditional mantra practices that require conscious effort, Ajapa Japa becomes an automatic process, integrating seamlessly with your natural breathing.
- Connection with Universal Sound: This meditation aligns your individual self with the universal sound vibration, enhancing your spiritual awareness and connection with the cosmos.
- Healing and Transformation: Ajapa Japa helps in healing the mind, liberating energy trapped in negative patterns, and fostering a sense of inner peace and well-being.
Through Ajapa Japa, practitioners can experience a deeper sense of connection and harmony, bridging the gap between their inner and outer worlds.
Ajapa Japa Meditation Track Guide
With the 3 Easy Steps to Deep Relaxation Yoga and Meditation Series, you will embark on a transformative journey towards mastering relaxation. Here’s what you can expect from each track:
Track 1. Talk on Ajapa Japa
Learn about this powerful meditation practice from the Yoga-Tantra tradition. This introductory talk covers the five keys to successful Ajapa Japa and the three stages of inner growth and spiritual maturity.
Sample Audio:
Track 2. Psychic Breath – Ujjayi
Discover Ujjayi, a controlled yogic breathing technique also known as throat, psychic, or conscious breathing. By subtly tensing the throat to make a soft sound, this breath technique carries awareness to the more subtle layers of your being and manipulates pranic energy.
Track 3. Ajapa Japa in the Nasal Passage
Perform Ajapa Japa by observing the breath moving in the nasal passage while repeating a mantra. This practice connects the trigger points of the muladhara chakra (root) and the ajna chakra (third eye), fostering a deep connection with higher consciousness.
Track 4. Ajapa Japa in the Frontal Passage
This meditation is focused on the psychic passage at the front of your body between the navel, the trigger point for manipura chakra, and the throat pit, the trigger point for vishuddhi chakra. You move vital energy, prana, and the mantra from manipura, health and vitality, via the anahata chakra, feeling, love, and empathy, to the vishuddhi chakra, for purification. Then you bring your awareness, breath and mantra back to be stored in manipura chakra to improve all aspects of your life.

“I began practicing Swami Shankardev and Jayne Stevenson's Ajapa Japa meditations several years ago, and it has been a turning point in my life. I still find it the most effective practice for calming, balancing, and promoting self-expression. When I first did this practice, my throat chakra had been quite constricted for many years. I would feel this energetically when the breath moved through this area of my body. The more I practiced, however, the lighter and more liberated my throat felt. These changes were reflected in my daily life. My voice became more confident, and I was able to express myself much more freely and openly. I wholeheartedly recommend it!”
