The dragon is woven into the very fabric of Chinese civilization in a shape and form that has remained remarkably unchanged over the centuries. Traditionally associated with strength and courage, the Chinese dragon has a long head with a gaping mouth, a pair of horns, and long flowing mane. His eyes are fierce and alert, his nostrils flaring, and he has a long sinewy body, covered with scales that reflect iridescent light. Sometimes the dragon is green or blue; sometimes he is red or golden. He is said to possess supernatural powers and can make himself invisible. When he flies through the skies small tongues of fire emanate from his body as he moves.

The dragon image is the most auspicious symbol in the Feng Shui gallery of propitious symbols. Activating the dragon’s cosmic chi in the home can be done in many different ways depending on which Feng Shui school and which branch of Taoist teaching you wish to follow. The rituals here are based on specific tips given to me years ago while I was working in Hong Kong. At that time I was Chairman of my own chain of department stores, known as the Dragon Seed Group. I learned a great deal about the dragon then and even wrote a book about it, which I released in 1988 — the year of the dragon. The intangible power of dragon symbols has never ceased to surprise me.
