In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram (shaivism)Uccalana (उच्चलन) refers to the “outpouring (of consciousness)” (within one’s own nature), according to Abhinavagupta’s Tantrāloka verse 3.247-249 and 250cd-251ab.—Accordingly, “(Consciousness) is reflective awareness, and so its spontaneous and ever manifest resonance is called the great supreme, Heart. The self-awareness, in the Heart (from which) all things have fallen away, present in the first and last moment of perception is called, according to the (Spanda) teachings the universal vibration of consciousness and is the outpouring (uccalana) of consciousness within one's own nature”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchUccalana (उच्चलन) refers to the “rising upwards (of a sound in the heart)”, 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 Palas (i.e., twelve breaths), a sound in the heart rises up (hṛnnāda-uccalana). [The Yogin] should recognize it to be the unstruck sound and should not fix his mind on it. [...]”.
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).
