From the mundane to the mystical, people aged 20-86, rank beginners to venerated masters, share extraordinary stories about changes in health, supersensory awareness, precognition and the dissolution of space and time. This is not an account for the New Age fringe, but for those who seek a deeper understanding of energy (qi), the concept at the heart of taijiquan, a world-leading mind-body practice for health, coordination and spiritual development.

Appealing to taiji practitioners of all levels, as well as to practitioners of yoga, meditation, martial arts and the healing arts Swimming in the Sea of Qi: The Taiji Path to Energetic and Spiritual Awakening, demonstrates how manifestations of energy through body, mind, and spirit can lead to a life-changing, transcendent experience.

Denise Meyer started studying taiji over twenty years ago, first with world push hands champion Stephen Watson, then with Cheng Man Ching's senior student, Maggie Newman. She has also been heavily influenced by work with Rick Barrett, Ken Van Sickle, Robert Mann and Wei-Ming Chen. She is currently the web content editor and technical specialist at the Yale School of Public Health. Her talk at the 2018 International Daoist Conference in Beijing was published in the Journal of Daoist Studies (edited by Livia Kohn, PhD). She led a 2-hour workshop exploring space at the 2019 International Daoist Conference in Los Angeles. She has been certified to teach in the Cheng Man Ching lineage by Maggie Newman and Ken Van Sickle.
