The Absence of Mind (放心 Hōshin), is an altered state of consciousness where an individual's mind is put into a state of unconscious within the mind and fights solely on reflex, and instinct alone. This style was initially created by Ignis D. Zashi, which he passed down to his children and grandchildren. The Absence of Mind is similar to the drunken fist, however instead of being drunk, the user is asleep. This is also quite similar to sleep walking or talking, where the user commits actions, though they are not awake.
