Very advanced Feng Shui adepts know how to discern the exact locations of the dragon’s body across the country, and so determine the more auspicious parts that represent special spots of prosperity. They are able to tell with remarkable accuracy where to find the five claws of the dragon, where power abounds, and also the belly, where prosperity is generated. Most importantly, they can find the head and tell you where the two eyes of the dragon are situated. To date it has been a closely guarded secret, but Feng Shui experts who can locate the head and eyes of the dragon can show you how to dot the eyes of the dragon, bringing him to life. When the dragon is awakened its breath fills the surrounding environment with copious amounts of yang energy, and any home located there will enjoy tremendous good fortune.

Tall buildings at strategic points in cities are said to represent the eyes of the dragon.

In the past, dotting the eye of the dragon required nothing more than the strategic placement of big boulders at certain places in a village or city. This would enable the dragon to see, thereby igniting its protective powers. Today, however, many Feng Shui masters agree that boulders are insufficient. Instead, they suggest that the best method of dotting the eyes of the dragon is to build large, tall buildings at strategic points. These buildings should stay lit at all times so that they look like the eyes of the dragon when seen from the skies above. So if you believe that the American dragon has its head in California, then it is easy enough to fly over the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco to locate the buildings that symbolize the dragon’s eyes. With the wealth emanating out of Silicon Valley, it seems likely that the eyes of the dragon have already been awakened.

In Hong Kong, the dragon’s head is believed to be in the Tsimshatsui area, where tall, grand buildings abound. Local people maintain that there are nine dragons in this part of Hong Kong, thereby giving rise to its name Kowloon, meaning nine dragons. In Beijing, there are stunning nine-dragon walls in the Forbidden City and in the Heibei park, and in Hong Kong there is a beautiful reproduction of these walls near the waterfront in the Causeway bay area. These nine dragon walls offer celestial protection to the cities and their residents, guarding them against natural disasters.

In the Malaysian peninsula there are two dragons living along the main range of mountains. One has its head on the northeastern outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, and the other has its head on the island of Singapore, where many high-rises dotted the eyes of the peninsular dragon a couple of decades ago hence, together with other auspicious rituals and symbols, resulting in tremendous economic wealth for its people. Malaysia recently completed the Petronas twin towers, the two tallest buildings in the world, which may well represent the eyes of the Malaysian dragon.

And of course Europe is a continent that abounds with dragons. There are numerous dragons in the Alps, the most important being the five dragons emanating outward toward France, Germany, and Italy —so these and all the countries that surround the wonderful hidden abodes of fire dragons have prospered. The fortunes of European countries will surely be considerably enhanced if the major capital cities started building more skyscrapers, as this would be akin to dotting the eye of their dragons, thereby awakening them.
