1) The Moving about (of Kuṇḍalinī—the highest power) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Sañcalana, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for two Kalās, with the moving about (sañcalana) of Kuṇḍalinī, there arises in a flash a single trembling of [the Yogin's] mind. By means of an absorption of four Kalās, his sleep ceases. In his heart, the Yogin observes a point of fiery light like a spark. [...]”.

2) Moving (across the earth) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Bhū-Caratva, according to the Amanaska Yoga.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for a period of twelve days, the state of moving across the earth (bhūcaratva) is achieved. Within half the time [it takes to] blink an eyelid, [the Yogin can] travel [anywhere] around the world. [...]”.

3) Moving things are denoted by the Sanskrit term Cara, according to the Viṣṇudharma verse 96.1 and 4.—Accordingly, “O Brahmin, you mentioned that this Brahma is eternal and from it this whole world [consisting of] moving (cara) and unmoving [things] arose [...]. Therefore, how could the [ever-changing] world arise from the eternal and omnipresent [Brahma], which is free from transformation and even devoid of quality?”.

Vedanta (school of philosophy)

(Whatever is) Moving is denoted by the Sanskrit term Cara, according to the Māṇḍūkyopaniṣatkārikā 3.31-32.—Accordingly, while discussing duality and mental activity: “All this duality which is [comprising of] whatever is moving (cara) and motionless is [just] a visible object of the mind. For when [the state of] no-mind of mind [arises], duality is not perceived. [Why is this?] When the mind does not conceptualize because [one has] realized the truth of the self, then, it goes to the state of no mind. Therefore, in the absence of perceivable objects, there is no perception [of duality]”.
