Drawing on Ancient Wisdom
You want more money in your life. Everyone desires security and the ability to have enough to live well.
A Feng Shui wealth jar is a simple yet powerful tool that people have used for hundreds of years. It acts like a magnet for wealth energy, giving your desires a tangible, physical form.
This guide will teach you how to understand these special jars. We will show you how they work, how to make one step-by-step, where to place it, and how to keep it in good condition for the long term.
What is a Feng Shui Jar?
More Than Just Decoration
A Feng Shui jar is more than just something that looks nice. This modern version of the ancient Chinese "Treasure Basin" has a deeper purpose in the home.
Its role is to store "Qi," or life force energy. The jar absorbs the positive energy associated with money and success in life.
When you create one of these containers, you are making a special home for wealth energy. This container helps you focus on your financial goals and dreams.
Key Principles
The power of these jars comes from a simple idea. Your intention, combined with meaningful symbols, can create results in your life.
Each item in the jar holds a special meaning related to wealth. When you mindfully create this jar, you infuse it with your energy and your goals for the future.
Numbers are very important in this practice. In Chinese culture, "nine" is auspicious and symbolizes completion, so people often put three, six, or nine coins in the jar.
How to Make Your Jar
Step 1: Choose Your Jar
The container is the base of your treasure basin. The material, shape, and color of the container have an important impact on its energy.
Choose an Earth element material to ground your wealth energy. Ceramic and porcelain are good choices as they symbolize financial stability.
Do not use a jar made of clear glass or clear plastic. Wealth should be kept private, not exposed where it can easily be lost.
The best shape has a wide body, curved shoulders, a narrow neck, and a tight lid. This shape means that wealth flows in easily and, once attracted, does not escape.
For color, choose earthy tones like yellow or brown as a base. Gold and silver directly represent wealth, while dark blue or black work well because, in Feng Shui, water represents the flow of money.
| Feature | Best Choice | Why It Works (Feng Shui Principle) |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Ceramic, Earthenware, Metal | Represents the Earth element; grounding, stable wealth. |
| Shape | Wide body, narrow neck, with a lid | Attracts and collects abundant resources, preventing them from escaping. |
| Clarity | Opaque | Symbolizes protecting and nurturing your wealth, not exposing it. |
Step 2: Gather Your Ingredients
The items in the jar symbolize your future wealth. While there are traditional items to include, the most powerful jars contain items that are meaningful to you.
This is not about randomly putting things in a container. You should choose symbols that relate to your personal financial goals.
We have categorized the ingredients by type to help you make informed choices. As you select them, think about what each one means to you personally.
| Ingredient Category | Examples | Feng Shui Symbolism | Your Personal Intention Prompt |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Raw rice, soil from a wealthy friend's garden | Nurturing, growth, sustenance, providing fertile ground for your wealth to grow. | What does a stable financial foundation mean to you? |
| "Gold" | 3, 6, or 9 I-Ching coins tied with a red ribbon; gold foil ingots; foreign currency | Direct symbols of money, prosperity, and good luck. | What specific financial goals are you attracting? |
| "Jewels" | Citrine, Pyrite, Green Aventurine, Clear Quartz | Citrine (wealth), Pyrite (protection), Aventurine (opportunity), Quartz (amplification). | What other qualities do you need? (e.g., "opportunity," "clarity") |
| The Five Elements | Cinnamon sticks, star anise, bay leaves | Represents the balance of the five elements, bringing abundance. Cinnamon attracts money, bay leaves attract wealth. | How does wealth bring balance to your life? |
| Personal Talisman | A small heirloom, a photo of your goal (e.g., a house), a business card | Directly connects your energy and specific desires. Makes the jar uniquely yours. | What is the root reason for your desire for abundance? |
Step 3: The Assembly Ritual
Making the jar is a special act. During this process, you pour your energy and hopes into a physical object.
-
Cleanse your space and items. First, burn some incense to purify the energy. This will bring you fresh energy and a new start.
-
Connect with your intention. Hold the empty jar in your hands and close your eyes. Imagine your financial goals as if they have already been achieved in your life.
-
Layer the ingredients. Start placing the ingredients one by one into the jar. Begin with the rice or soil at the bottom, followed by heavier items like crystals and coins.
-
Breathe into the jar. Before closing the jar, bring it to your mouth. Take a deep breath while thinking about wealth, then blow that energy into the jar.
-
Seal the jar. Close the lid tightly to lock your wishes inside. For extra energy, you can tie a red ribbon around the neck of the jar to seal the positive energy inside.
Strategic Placement
Finding Your Wealth Corner
Where you place the jar is as important as how you make it. The placement affects how its energy interacts with the flow of your house.
The best location is your home's "wealth corner," also known as the Xun position. Finding this spot is simple and only takes a moment.
Stand at your front door and look into your home. According to Feng Shui, the far-left corner of the entire home is your wealth corner.
This area is naturally connected to wealth and a sense of value. Placing your jar here allows it to attract money to the fullest extent.
Alternative Placements
Not everyone can make full use of their wealth corner for various reasons. Don't worry—there are other good places that will also work.
-
In your home office: This helps to increase work income, attract new clients, or get a promotion. Place it in the far-left corner from the office door.
-
Near the main entrance: This brings new financial luck to your home. Place it somewhere not directly visible from the doorway, so the wealth energy doesn't escape too quickly.
-
On your altar or sacred space: If you have one, placing your jar here connects your financial goals to your spiritual side for added power.
Places to Avoid
Some places can harm the jar's energy or even bring negative energy to your finances. Avoid these places.
-
The Bathroom: This is a place where wealth is drained away. Placing a treasure basin here suggests your money will be flushed down the drain.
-
The Kitchen: The strong fire energy of the stove may "burn up" your wealth energy before you can use it.
-
On the Floor: Never place the jar on the floor. This shows disrespect for your goals and wealth intentions.
-
Facing the Front Door: Do not place the jar directly facing the front door or a large window. This implies that the wealth it attracts will immediately flow out of your life.
Activation and Maintenance
Initial Activation
Your jar needs clear instructions to work properly. After placing it, hold your hands over the jar without touching it to feel its energy field.
Firmly state your main financial goal out loud three times. This clearly tells the jar how to work for you.
How to Recharge
Your jar needs regular maintenance to keep its energy strong and working for you. Here's how to maintain its energy.
-
New Moon Renewal: The new moon is an excellent time to set new goals. On this night, dust off the jar and revisit your financial goals with fresh energy.
-
Sun or Moonlight Bath: To cleanse and recharge the crystals inside, place the sealed jar in the gentle morning sun or a full moon for a few hours each month.
-
Add "Wins": When you have a financial success, celebrate with your jar. Write it down on a small piece of paper and place it under the jar to add the energy of success to your practice.
If You Feel Stuck
If your financial situation isn't improving or the jar feels insufficient, you may need to give it a complete reset. Trust your feelings.
When you are ready, carefully open the jar in a clean, quiet place. See what's inside and put back anything that feels wrong or has gone bad.
Then, with a clearer or more specific goal, perform the assembly ritual again. Sometimes our desires change, and the jar needs to be updated.
Your Jar, Your Abundance
Your Feng Shui jar is now ready to work for you. It represents your determination to create a more abundant life for yourself and those you care about.
Remember, the jar is just a tool to strengthen your intention. The real magic comes from your belief, your focus, and the positive steps you take every day towards your goals.
Enjoy the process of making your jar and watch what happens next. Trust in these ancient methods and open your heart to the wealth that is coming your way.
