In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: INSA Digital Repository: Caraka’s Approach to KnowledgeChannel (Sanskrit: srōtas) in Ayurveda refers to the “countless channels which cris-cross the body” (bounded by the skin outside and the alimentary canal inside).—The channels and the accumulated doshas blocking them were not visible to the physician except in his ‘mind’s eye’; and the idea of loosening the dosha plugs by the ingestion of a fat-based preparation and the elimination of the accumulated doshas which would flow into the alimentary canal by emesis or purgation was untested.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe Channels (Veins) of the body are denoted by the Sanskrit term Sirā, according to the Amaraughaprabodha: a short 13th century treatise on Yoga attributed to Gorakṣanātha which teaches the fourfold system of yoga (Mantra, Laya, Haṭha and Rāja).—Accordingly, “[...] Some who are skilled in circulating the breath through the channels of the entire body, consume dhātus [...] They do not have mastery of the body without [the state of] Rājayoga, in which their minds are absent. When the mind has attained equanimity and the breath moves into the central channel (sirā), [then] these Amarolī, Vajrolī and Sahajolī [Mudras] arise”.
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).
