Ajapa japa

Ajapa japa is a meditation technique that helps you focus and calm your mind. It involves silently repeating a word or phrase, known as a mantra, while also paying attention to your breath. You don't need to say the mantra out loud or move your lips. Instead, you say it silently in your head. Ajapa japa also involves paying attention to the sound of your breath as it moves in and out of your body. This helps you to stay present and focused during meditation. It is like a game where you try to stay quiet and listen to your breath while you repeat a secret word to yourself. This helps you to quiet your mind and feel relaxed.
