In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram (shaivism)kimciccalana (किम्चित्-चलन) refers to the “subtle movement” (which is the pulsing radiance of self-luminous consciousness), according to Abhinavagupta’s Tantrāloka verse 3.247-249 and 250cd-251ab.—Accordingly, “(This vibration is that) subtle movement (kimciccalana) which is the pulsing radiance (of self-luminous consciousness that shines as all things). Independent of all else, it is the wave of the ocean of consciousness, and consciousness is (never) without it. Indeed, it is the nature of the sea to be (at times tranquil) without waves and (at others) full of waves. [...]”.
