Awaken To Your Highest Potential Using An Ancient Yogic Technology That You Can Carry In Your Pocket.
Japa is the meditative uttering of mantra. It is an ancient yogic practice that originates from the same body of knowledge as Vedic Meditation, ayurveda, yoga and Jyotish (Vedic Astrology).
When you practice Japa you are initiated into a specific Sanskrit Mantra, chosen by a qualified teacher, to achieve specific outcomes. Some mantras have a translational meaning and some work purely on the level of sound vibration.
The consistent repetition of mantra activates a certain energetic current which has the effect of rewiring neural pathways. With the intention of enlivening specific qualities within you that help you move beyond your limitations, overcome life's obstacles and live your potential.
Japa is distinct from Vedic Meditation and is recommended as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, your Vedic Meditation practice.
Within our Japa Circle you'll be initiated into a mantra, chosen by Mairéad, and you'll chant the mantra over 40 days. Beginning with a life group initiation, followed by daily self-practice and voice-note coaching.
What is Japa?
After Vedic Meditation, Japa is my favourite yogic remedy. Through Japa I have transcended fear, awakened to unconscious attachments, moved confidently in the direction of growth and enlivened wisdom and creativity along the way.
Although Japa is simple in practice when you come up against your attachments alone you'll tell yourself its better to give up than to keep going, and that's why I have created Japa Circle, a 40 day group japa experience so you don't have to go it alone.
“Practicing Japa with Mairéad was a monumental experience for me. It unlocked an energy and power within me that I didn't realise was there. I felt lost after the 40 days when it was over as it became such a significant part of my practice and simply changed me and how I function in the world.”
introducing...
The mantra I have chosen for our 2024 Japa Circle had a profound effect on me personally and has proved a favourite with students I have prescribed it to. It is an energising mantra that has a sweetness which makes it enjoyable, even comforting, to practice. It will make you feel empowered, steadfast, committed and inspired. It will give you the courage to stand in your power and face up to truth.
By the end you'll feel like nothing will get in your way!

Mairéad's MALAs
A mala is a string of 108 beads which is traditionally used to keep count of your Japa mantra repetitions.
During Mairéad's trips to Rishikesh, India, Mairéad designed a small number of malas using her knowledge of Jyotish (Vedic Astrology), to select precious and semi-precious stones to balance and activate specific energies.
Each mala has been dipped in the sacred river Ganga in the north of India and blessed with mantra personally by Mairéad.
As part of the Japa Circle, you'll receive 25% discount across Mairéad's Mala collection.
