In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram狈颈岣辫补苍诲补 (啶ㄠた啶冟じ啷嵿お啶ㄠ啶�) refers to 鈥渋nactive鈥�, according to Ar峁嘺si峁僪a鈥檚 Mah腻nayaprak腻艣a verse 134.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭he 艢腻mbhava (state) is the one in which the power of consciousness (citi) suddenly (蝉补丑补蝉腻) dissolves away into the Great Void called the Inactive (苍颈岣辫补苍诲补) that is profound and has no abode. Cognitive awareness (箩帽腻苍补) arises here in the form of a subtle wave of consciousness out of that ocean of emptiness, which is the perfectly peaceful condition of the dissolving away of destruction. [...] Again, that same (principle) free of the cognitive process (蝉补峁僾颈迟迟颈办补濒补苍腻) is the supreme absolute (niruttara) said to be the 艢腻mbhava state of emptiness (惫测辞尘补艣腻尘产丑补惫补)鈥�.
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣腻kta) or Shaktism (艣腻ktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch狈颈峁补苍诲补 (啶ㄠた啶粪啶え啷嵿う) refers to 鈥渕otionless鈥�, according to sources such as the Candr腻valokana and the Anubhavanivedanastotra.鈥擜ccordingly, while describing the highest reality through the practice of 艢腻mbhav墨 Mudr腻: 鈥淸...] [The Yogin鈥檚] eyes are half open, his mind steady and his gaze placed at the tip of the nose. Even his moon and sun have dissolved and his body is motionless (苍颈峁补苍诲补-谤奴辫补). He goes to that supreme intensely radiant state, the highest reality, which has the appearance of light and is devoid of everything external. What could be spoken of here that is greater [than this]?鈥�.
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 腻sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
