Vritti — mental fluctuations

Vritti are the fluctuations, waves, or modifications of the mind—thoughts, emotions, sensations, memories that arise and pass. The opening of the Yoga Sutras defines yoga itself as the stilling of these vritti; learning to observe them without being swept along is the core of meditation practice.
