In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchIdentification (with a particular element) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Tanmayatā, according to verse 13.7cd-8 of the Mālinīvijayottaratantra.—Accordingly, “If one attains identification (tanmayatā) [with the water element, then], within six months steadiness is achieved. Within three years one attains gnostic vision of the water-realm. In the motionless division [of the Sakala contemplation] also, one is conjoined to the reality level of water [and becomes] in all respects similar to water”.
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).
Shaiva philosophy
Source: archive.org: Chittanubodha Shastram By Bhaskara KanthaThe Identification of the Self with the body leads to suffering (and hence arises the necessity to uplift the soul from its bondage), according to the Cittānubodhaśāstra by Rājanaka Bhāskarakaṇṭha: an 18th century text dealing with aspects of Kashmir Śaivism such as the Pratyabhijñā (lit. “divine recognition”) philosophical branch.—The purport of the Cittānubodhaśāstra is to awaken the mind and to make it realize the truth of its own nature. [...] In the second chapter we find an exposition of all the kinds of subjects (pramātā), from dehapramātā to śūnyapramātā, which correspond to the different states such as the waking state which is established in the body, the dream state in the intellect (buddhi) and deep sleep in the vital principle (prāṇa). The identification of the Self with the body leads to suffering and hence arises the necessity to uplift the soul from its bondage.
