Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchBhrūdhyāna (भ्रूध्यान) refers to “meditation on (the middle of) the eyebrows”, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā of Svātmārāma: an influential 15th-century Sanskrit manual on Hatha-Yoga dealing with techniques to channel one’s vital energy.—Accordingly, “For the rapid attainment of the no-mind state, I recommend meditation on [the middle of] the eyebrows (bhrūdhyāna). It is an easy method for attaining Samādhi [even] for the unintelligent”.
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).
