Ajapa is the Sanskrit term used to describe "total awareness" in Hindu philosophy. Ajapa is one way of practicing Japa (chanting of mantras), concentrating and developing awareness with the least effort. Ajapa is an exercise in yoga that can be mastered through intense, personal concentration and focusing on mental exercise.
A separate article discusses ajapa japa, the state of continuous mental repetition of a mantra.
