"In Hinduism, Kundalini (Sanskrit: कुण्डलिनी kuṇḍalinī, About this soundpronunciation (help·info), "coiled snake") is a form of divine feminine energy (or shakti) believed to be located at the base of the spine, in the muladhara. It is an important concept in Śhaiva Tantra, where it is believed to be a force or power associated with the divine feminine or the formless aspect of the Goddess.[1] This energy[2] in the body, when cultivated and awakened through tantric practice, is believed to lead to spiritual liberation. Kuṇḍalinī is associated with Parvati or Adi Parashakti, the supreme being in Shaktism; and with the goddesses Bhairavi and Kubjika.[3][4] The term, along with practices associated with it, was adopted into Hatha yoga in the 9th century.[5] It has since then been adopted into other forms of Hinduism as well as modern spirituality and New age thought.
Kuṇḍalinī awakenings are said to occur by a variety of methods. Many systems of yoga focus on awakening Kuṇḍalinī through: meditation; pranayama breathing; the practice of asana and chanting of mantras.[6] Kundalini Yoga is influenced by Shaktism and Tantra schools of Hinduism. It derives its name from its focus upon the awakening of kundalini energy through regular practice of Mantra, Tantra, Yantra, Asanas or Meditation.[6][7] The Kuṇḍalinī experience is frequently reported to be a distinct feeling of electric current running along the spine.[8][9][10]"
"According to the Yogis, there are two nerve currents in the spinal column, called Pingalâ and Idâ, and a hollow canal called Sushumnâ running through the spinal cord. At the lower end of the hollow canal is what the Yogis call the "Lotus of the Kundalini". They describe it as triangular in a form in which, in the symbolical language of the Yogis, there is a power called the Kundalini, coiled up. When that Kundalini awakens, it tries to force a passage through this hollow canal, and as it rises step by step, as it were, layer after layer of the mind becomes open and all the different visions and wonderful powers come to the Yogi. When it reaches the brain, the Yogi is perfectly detached from the body and mind; the soul finds itself free. We know that the spinal cord is composed in a peculiar manner. If we take the figure eight horizontally (∞), there are two parts which are connected in the middle. Suppose you add eight after eight, piled one on top of the other, that will represent the spinal cord. The left is the Ida, the right Pingala, and that hollow canal which runs through the center of the spinal cord is the Sushumna. Where the spinal cord ends in some of the lumbar vertebrae, a fine fiber issues downwards, and the canal runs up even within that fiber, only much finer. The canal is closed at the lower end, which is situated near what is called the sacral plexus, which, according to modern physiology, is triangular in form. The different plexuses that have their centers in the spinal canal can very well stand for the different "lotuses" of the Yogi."-From the wikipedia entry on Kundalini
From the mothers of Lemuria, cultivation was done via the womb, the gateway to creation on Earth. Males do not have wombs, but we can create an artificial seed or space, via esoteric arts and cultivate that seed. This is often called a core or jindan.
Things that are not directly connected to the source of Creation, the womb, can more easily lead to "do what thou wilt from an ego pov" or "it feels good, do it".
Instead of providing energy for liberation, this in turn does the opposite. It chains the higher chakras to the impure lower chakras, urges, and desires.
The male and female paths for cultivation often diverge drastically. A female naturally collects chi/prana in the womb throughout life, and this energy is activated/received during sexual orgasms. For the male, this energy is spent through sexual orgasms. Thus for the ascetic hanged man's path, males have to preserve their sexual energy via abstinence or tantric practices (receiving energy exchange from partners or groups). While females merely have to open the channels and be more relaxed, or receive energy from their partners.
In Tai Chi Chuan, this can be seen as the males learning how to be females, and females learning how to express yang (male) power. The males need to learn how to be still like weaker women are. The females need to learn how to express physical dominance energy projection, in order to utilize physical techniques they need physical power.
While this isn't a one size fits all template, the physical body is one size template. One either has a womb or one does not.
