Water Dragons
nergy flowing in waterways is called a water dragon. The water dragon inhales at sinkholes or
underwater caves and exhales where water gushes out in the form of springs. (In
feng-shui the term "veins" refers only to land features; therefore there are no
veins associated with water dragons.)
Water dragons, formed by rivers, sea
currents in coastal waters, or aquatic vegetation patterns, carry extremely
benevolent energy. For a river to qualify as a water dragon, it must follow a
path that resembles the body of a dragon, with a main channel that serves as the
dragon's "body" and distinct side channels that are the dragon's "feet." The
water dragon is especially auspicious if the water pools up at certain points.
Water dragons are never present in either swift-flowing or stagnant water or in
water falling from great heights.
Water dragons can also exist without the
visible presence of water, as when dragon-shaped formations can be seen in the
difference between colorations of grass in a pasture. Also, water dragons can be
formed when different flows of water in coastal seas form dragon-shaped patterns
based on differing surface colorations, but these can quickly disappear when
winds or currents change.
