Hi! I am Rodika Tchi, your About.com Guide to feng shui. Today I will show you how to create a very popular (and old!) traditional feng shui money cure called the wealth vase.

Feng Shui Wealth Vase Supplies

To create a wealth vase you will need a vase with a stable bottom, a wide body and a narrow neck. You also want your vase to have a lid. The design choice is totally up to you – I chose this vase in Chinatown because it has a nice bamboo design in deep blue color, but you choose the design and the colors that mostly speak to you, the design that you like. You will also need 5 elements color fabric and 5 elements color string.

And here come the other ingredients:

• Soil from a wealthy friend
• 5 elements grains (or you can choose just one type if grain, I chose rice. But traditionally you choose 5 different types of grains to represent the 5 elements.)
• And of course you need a variety of wealth symbols and we have both traditional Chinese, as well as contemporary wealth symbols: laughing Buddha with gold ingots, jewelry, Chinese coins, more ingots, various types of crystals including the so-called “fool's gold” – pyrite – which is often used in feng shui money cures.

Now that we have everything ready, I can show you how easy you can create your own wealth vase. Let me show it to you step by step.

Energize the Wealth Vase

The first thing you want to do before filling up the vase with your wealth symbols/ingredients is to fill it with your intent spend a minute or two to energize you vase and be very clear as to why you are creating a wealth vase.

Fill the Feng Shui Wealth Vase

Now you are ready to fill it with your ingredients. First comes the soil – do it slowly and mindfully and again spend a minute or so being clear with your intent as now you just filled the foundation of your wealth vase.

Next comes the rice, or the five different grains. You fill the vase slowly and mindfully focusing on your intent. What you just did symbolically is you planted some seeds in a fertile soil.

Now you fill it with your wealth symbols, or wealth ingredients. Put them one by one and energize them with your thought – put the crystals, Buddha, good luck charms, coins, crystals clusters, etc. And our vase is ready!

The last step in creating your wealth vase is covering it with the 5 elements fabric. We will start with blue for water and proceed in the order of the productive cycle of the 5 elements: Water (blue) feeds the Wood (green) which in turn feeds the Fire (red) which feeds and nourishes the Earth (light brown); earth creates metal (gold). Metal element represents money so we decided to cover our vase in nice gold fabric.

The very last step is to tie your vase with the 5 element string and your vase is all ready! Thanks for watching!
