Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchKhecarīsiddhi (खेचरीसिद्धि) refers to the “Siddhi of moving in the ether”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] Then, by means of an absorption for a period of thirteen days, the best of Yogins attains most wonderously the Siddhi of moving in the ether (khecarīsiddhi) at will. [...]”.
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).
