This collection of 8 articles comprise discussions that range through the six healing breaths, yoga and daoyin, acupuncture and spiritual realization, the complexities of qi absorption, taiji quan, qigong in America, transforming sexual energy with water and fire alchemy, and fasting and the Daoist body. Each author brings their expertise and knowledge to bear, in some cases drawing on sources from antiquity to present readers with a full range of Daoist thought concerning cultivation and transformation of the physical body, and in other cases bringing their experience from clinical practice to shed light on the topic. The eight contributing authors are Stephen Jackowicz, Catherine Despeux, Lonny Jarrett, Shawn Arthur, Livia Kohn, Michael Winn, Bede Bidlack, and Louis Komjathy.
