In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Absorption refers to a “gradual progression of absorption” (spanning twenty-four years), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise.—The first chapter, which was written before the seventeenth century CE and probably after the fifteenth-century Haṭhapradīpikā, is distinguished from other yoga texts by a gradual progression of absorption (laya) spanning twenty-four years. The second chapter can be dated to the eleventh or early twelfth century CE and appears to be among the earliest yoga texts that teach a type of yoga called Rājayoga.
Absorption can be denoted by the Sanskrit terms: Laya, Samādhi.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
In Science
Health Sciences
Absorption refers to “physical process of radiant energy transfer to tissue”.—In the science of “tissue heating by water-filtered infrared a radiation (WIRA)”, an exact terminology is crucial to prevent interdisciplinary misunderstanding and to be consistent with the International System of Units (SI).
