Technologies that aid transcendence of the physical sphere and awaken divine insight have been a pillar in Indian culture as far back as the Vedas and possibly even further.  That which could not be seen with the physical eye was declared ever-present by the Ṛshis, Munis and wandering ascetics who devoted themselves to awakening.   To awaken, one had to transcend the self and 'see' the relationship between mind and matter.  The vehicle through which this is made possible is the yogic body; a subtle body that vibrates beyond our normal sense perception yet governs every aspect of our being.  Using the tantric model of the universe as a metaphysical framework, we will look at the union of gendered cosmic and physical principles within tantric rituals and the haṭha yogic system.  Through this exploration, we look at a bi-piston subtle and biological mechanism which brings about the Kuṇḍalinī experience and the release of amṛta, a divine bliss-inducing nectar.
