Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Saṃcālana (संचालन) refers to “movement”, according to the commentary on the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] When the (the breath) enters (bit by bit) in consonance with the sixteen energies (of the digits of the moon of which it is composed) that is then the Northern Path and emanation takes place. When it exits in consonance with the sixteen energies, it is then the Southern Path and ‘death’ takes place. Who is it that thus enters and exits? It is the Gander of the Breath. The person who knows how to fashion the part of the Gander (haṃsa) of the inhaled or exhaled breath with sixteen limbs, as well as the movement of the Knots [i.e., granthi-saṃcālana], which is the sign of the motion (of the breath and the energies) in each place, is a yogi who is without error”.

Yoga (school of philosophy)

Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

Sañcalana (सञ्चलन) refers to the “moving about” (of Kuṇḍalinī—the highest power), 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. [...]”.
