According to yoga philosophy, human psyche is considered to be part of the material world. As everything that exist, it is composed of interaction of two basic substances: unconscious matter or energy and universal consciousness or spirit. Human psyche could potentially attain different stages of consciousness, according to the degree of universal consciousness or degree of matter (energy) implied in it. From this perspective, psychological health is reflection of physical health of body, uninterrupted energy flow that comes to the body through chakras, regulated breathing and the degree of consciousness one is able to attain during his life. It is assumed that everybody could attain the highest state of consciousness with the help of proper yoga techniques and experienced teacher.
