The lotus position is a standard position used in meditation and yoga. In Sanskrit, the pose is known as Padmasana after the lotus flower that rises from mud to grow above water in a pond. The Person in Lotus Position emoji 🧘 is often used to refer to meditation and yoga, as well as the concepts of relaxation, harmony, spirituality, and calm in general. Playing off these ideas, the emoji is also often used to refer to manifestation, an activity in which a person can supposedly cause something to happen by believing in it enough.
