Ajapa Japa Prāṇāyāma
Introduction Ajapa Japa is a subtle meditative practice of mantra repetition with the breath. Unlike traditional mantra japa, where the practitioner consciously repeats a mantra using mala beads or voice, Ajapa Japa happens naturally, without deliberate effort. It is considered one of the most powerful techniques in yoga and tantra for uniting the awareness with the breath, prāṇa, and the inner self.
