Sabija is a word that translates as "accompanied by a seed." In pranayama and dhyana practice the chanting or the mental repetition of a bija mantra, a sacred prayer, is provided to a beginner to focus his mind.
Thus, Sabija Meditation means meditation with seed (Sa means with and bija means seed). The objects of meditation in the four categories of Savitarka, Savichara, Nirvitarka, and Nirvichara all have a seed form of each object which the meditator focuses upon. Thus, they are called Sabija meditations.
