Earth Dragons / Earth Dragon Veins

nergy flowing over valleys is called an earth dragon; the pathways it flows in are called earth dragon veins. The earth dragon inhales at hollows in the valley floor and exhales at high spots (such as small mounds) in the valley. An earth dragon embodies yin (receptive and completing) energy, while a mountain dragon embodies yang (expansive and initiating) energy.

Steep valleys and fast- flowing water carry destructive energy (Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Colorado)

To qualify as an earth dragon vein, a valley must have energetic properties similar to those of mountain dragon veins--that is, they must have a main valley representing the earth dragon's spine and branch valleys representing the earth dragon's feet and claws.

Narrow valleys with steep, rocky walls (for example, canyons) carry wild and aggressive energy; wide valleys cradled by gentle slopes carry nourishing energy; and dry, eroded valleys surrounded by crumbling slopes carry no energy at all.
