In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
1) The Natural State (of absorption) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Sahajastha, 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. [...] By means of absorption for eight nights, the Yogin would be free from illness and, [while] abiding in the natural state (sahajastha) [of absorption], he is not afflicted by conditions such as hunger and thirst. [...]”.
2) The Natural State (of Samādhi) is denoted in the Sanskrit language as Sahaja-Avasthā, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā of Svātmārāma: an influential 15th-century Sanskrit manual on Hatha-Yoga dealing with techniques to channel one’s vital energy.—Accordingly, “Giving up sense objects is difficult to achieve; seeing the highest reality is [also] difficult, and [so too] is attaining the natural state (sahajāvasthā) [of Samādhi], without the compassion of a true Guru”.
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).
