Vaastu remedies for your home

A personal wealth vase can be created with ease at home. It is a simple Feng Shui symbol that is an excellent way to attract great wealth. It is a vase filled with precious items, kept at home/ office or any premises. Placed well at a home/ office, the personal wealth vase can be a powerful tool to invite and maintain prosperity.

How do one go about selecting a wealth vase? Selecting a vase that is beautiful, clean and valuable is mandatory. For the purpose, a container made of the Earth element or the Metal element is most suited. Earth vases are better suited than the Metal ones, though. This is because in the productive cycle of the five elements – the Earth produces Metal, and hence, the gold.

Earth element vases are the ones made of porcelain, crystal or earthenware, while the Metal element vases are the ones made of copper, brass, any alloy, or even silver or gold. Of course, the more expensive the material, the more auspicious the vase is said to be. However, there's  no need of going overboard, and buying a solid gold vase! A gold-plated one would be just as effective.

The best shape for a wealth vase is the one where the vase has a fairly wide mouth that narrows into a slender neck and then broadens out into a wide bottom to resemble an hourglass. This shape signifies the fact that a plenty of money or wealth can flow in, down through the narrow neck and into the broad base, where it will accumulate and remain for a long time. The vase can be as big or as small as one desires. As long as it is used properly, it should provide satisfying results.


The first thing to put in this new wealth vase, ideally, is a cluster of three, six, or nine Chinese coins, tied together with a red string. Next, the vase should be filled halfway with a combination of seven types of semi-precious stones. These can include amethyst, citrine, clear quartz, topaz, tiger’s eye, malachite, coral, lapis lazuli, sodalite, cornelian, jade, pearl, jasper, aquamarine, crystal, rose quartz, turquoise, etc. Diamonds or other real gems too may be included, or even real/ semi-precious jewellery, or simply colourful beads. Remember that Feng Shui is based on symbolism and intent, and will work just as well when using the coloured beads.

Next, if possible, a bit of soil from a rich person’s garden may be added. THE SOIL SHOULD NOT BE STOLEN! It should be taken only after seeking the requisite permission. Or, it may bring bad luck! In essence, this is skin to borrowing some of their wealth energy. This may sound a bit out of the ordinary, but it work. Thus, one has to be ready to tread the unusual path, step out of their comfort zone, and the results can be very rewarding.

Another option is to place a bit of soil from one's own garden or from the garden of a friend or family member. Additionally, a red package or a red envelope filled with real money may be put in the vase. This may be the paper money, coins or a combination of both.

The next step in creating your wealth vase is to include five types of nourishing fruits (seeds and grain) such as millets, wheat, barley, rice, sorghum, red beans, green beans or soya-beans, to symbolize an abundant and constant supply of food in the family. This (uncooked) grain may be put together in a small plastic bag, before the bag is put in the vase. This should ideally fill the vase to the brim. If there is still some space left in the vase, it should be topped off with more semi-precious stones.

On a last but very important note, the personal vase must be kept hidden away from the prying eyes of others, preferably inside a closet in the bedroom. It should never face the front door, or for that any door in the home, as this symbolizes the draining away of the wealth.

This does not have to be an expensive remedy, and one should use items one already possesses, as far as possible. However, selecting the correct vase, even an expensive one is important.

Have fun creating your vase. Personalise it, and connect with it. What next? Watch the money roll in!
