In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Manovṛtti (मनोवृत्ति) refers to “one’s mental activity”, according to the Sarvajñānottara 29.40.—Accordingly, while describing the no-mind state: “Having thrown off attachment to sense objects, one should [thus] eliminate one's mental activity (manovṛtti). When one goes to the state of no mind, then that is the supreme bliss”.
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).
