What is Japa Meditation?
First, Japa meditation is very different from our Deeep Meditation – The Foundational Practice.
Japa is a practice we use with clear intention and focused effort to help correct the mistaken intellect, refine our contemplative thinking spectrum, and enhance specific fields of awareness/consciousness. On the other hand, Vedic Meditation is designed to be effortless and expand the mind beyond thought altogether. The two techniques complement each other quite powerfully but are not interchangeable.
Japa is an active meditation. We can see Japa as our strength training outside of daily deep meditation.
Japa means “rotate,” in this practice, we move our fingers over a string of beads (called a mala) to focus awareness + concentration as we repeat the mantra. Every time we complete a repetition of the japa mantra, we move to the next bead. A full mala has 108 beads, and a full Japa is 108 cycles of the mantra. It is recommended to own a mala, but it is not required to take the course (as I will be using one for you to lead you through the direct experience.)
Japa Meditation counters the mind’s tendency to become overwhelmed by the continuous stream of inner chatter. As one slowly moves along the mala with the mantra, the mind becomes rooted in that same unhurried, calm movement.
Japa Meditation directs awareness into a clear focus, both objectively and subjectively.
If you join this course without a foundational deep practice, that is fine; you will discover many benefits and enhanced thinking from this Japa practice. If you have a foundational deep meditation practice, you will find both a powerful combo (done separately, of course!).
The Course Breakdown
In this course, we will be working with the mantras for the higher values of Ganesh (for protection and removing obstacles), Durga (defeating ignorance), Lakshmi (abundance and ease), and Saraswati (supreme knowledge and grace).
