In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramNābhistha (नाभिस्थ) refers to “that which is in the navel”, according to the Tantrasadbhāva, an important Trika Tantra and a major authority for Kashmiri Trika Śaivites.—Accordingly, “(Energy) whose form is that of a Kadamba bud is grasped in the locus of the navel. It should then be contemplated in the fore part of energy as bearing a series of garland-like flames. He who is (thus) between Wind and Fire (i.e. prāṇa and apāna) falls (in a mystic swoon) without a doubt. One should meditate in the navel on (its) circular motion [i.e., nābhistha—nābhisthaṃ bhramaṇaṃ], which is hard to behold like a whirling firebrand. Without a doubt, (this act of) grasping is established in a subtle state”.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNābhistha (नाभिस्थ) refers to “that which is situated in the navel”, according to the Kubjikāmata verse 25.130.—Accordingly: For one who has remembered [the sound of] the ḍamaru [drum] in the no-mind [state], which is free of ills, Kuṇḍalinī, in the form of Māyā, remains situated in the navel (nābhistha)”.
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).
