Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchŚaktitattvamaya (शक्तितत्त्वमय) refers to “becoming absorbed in the Śakti element”, 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. [...] [The yogin] who has remained in absorption continually for twenty-four years, [gains] the Siddhi of the Śakti element. Indeed, he becomes absorbed in the Śakti element (śaktitattvamaya). [The Yogin] will see the entire universe like a pearl held in [his] hand and truly understand its essential nature [to be] in his own body. [...]”.
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).
