Ajapa Japa is a profound yet accessible yogic/ tantric meditation practice that integrates breath awareness, mantra and visualisation of subtle inner energetic pathways. In this seminar you will learn and go deeper into this meditation practice under the skillful and experienced guidance of Sw. Krishnaprem and Tulsi.
Tutor(s): Tulsi and Sw Krishnaprem
Many meditation practices utilise breath awareness and mantra to beneficial effect. Ajapa Japa takes these fundamentals further in also
channeling the breath along inner subtle pathways, allowing the awareness to sink deeper. It primarily uses the natural mantra of the breath -
So Ham - alongside ujjayi pranayama and khechari mudra. The synthesis of breath, mantra and pathway is profound in its simplicity and brings a of deepening of self-awareness, illuminating the deeper levels of mind, and drawing us closer to the timeless present moment.

Following on from the first day on May 1st, this second day will take the practice deeper by channeling the breath, mantra and awareness along the spinal energetic pathway (
sushumna nadi) that spans all the spinal chakras, from mooladhara (root centre) at the base to agya (third eye) in the head.
Prerequisite: If you did not attend Ajapa Japa day one, you will need to know ujjayi pranayama, khechari mudra and have a good foundation in meditation to attend this day.
