By Feng Shui Wisdom | Ruize Brand Blog
Feng Shui isn’t just about interior design—it’s an ancient practice of arranging your environment to harmonize with the natural flow of energy (Chi). If you’re looking to attract prosperity, certain Feng Shui items have been trusted for centuries to enhance wealth and abundance. In this post, we’ll explore the top five most powerful Feng Shui items that can help you invite prosperity into your home—and how to place them correctly for maximum effect.
1. Money Tree (Feng Shui Tree or Crystal Tree)
Symbol of growth, abundance, and financial luck
The Money Tree, often crafted from crystals, gemstones, or jade, is a classic Feng Shui symbol of wealth. Its tree-like shape represents steady financial growth, while the crystals help energize the surrounding space.
Where to place it:
- In the Southeast corner of your home or living room (Wealth Corner)
- Near your home office or desk to boost career success
- Avoid placing it in the bathroom or kitchen, where wealth energy can drain
Pro Tip: Choose a tree made with citrine or pyrite crystals—both known for their wealth-attracting properties.
2. Chinese Coins Tied with Red Ribbon
Ancient symbols of wealth and protection
These round coins with square holes symbolize the union of heaven (circle) and earth (square). When tied together with red string, they activate powerful prosperity energy.
Where to place them:
- Inside your wallet, cash box, or safe
- Near the main entrance, to attract wealth and prevent money loss
- Tied to important keys, such as those for your office or register
Pro Tip: Use 3, 6, or 9 coins, as these are auspicious numbers in Feng Shui.
Feng Shui Tip: How Many Coins Should You Use?
- 3 Coins: Represent Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—building a strong foundation for wealth
- 5 Coins: Symbolize the five elements and directions, ideal for living room wealth corners or fish tank setups
- 6 Coins: Associated with smooth progress and helpful people
- 8 or 16 Coins: “8” sounds like “prosper” in Chinese; “16” means “continuous prosperity”—commonly placed under pillows or inside wallets
💡 Note: Always choose coins that are round outside and square inside, and keep them intact and untarnished. Pair with red or gold thread to enhance their symbolic power.
3. Laughing Buddha with Ingot or Sack of Gold
Bringer of joy, protection, and overflowing wealth
The Laughing Buddha represents joy, contentment, and generosity. When shown holding a gold ingot or a sack of treasures, he also becomes a powerful magnet for wealth and abundance.
Where to place it:
- On a high table or shelf facing the front door
- In the living room or Wealth Corner (Southeast sector)
Pro Tip: Do not place the Buddha on the floor, in the bathroom, or in bedrooms—it’s considered disrespectful.
4. Feng Shui Wealth Bowl
A container of blessings and financial stability
A Wealth Bowl is a symbolic vessel used to hold and accumulate wealth energy. It is usually filled with gold ingots, coins, crystals, faux money, and other prosperous items.
Where to place it:
- In the Southeast area of your living room, office, or business
- On a stable surface, such as a cabinet or shelf—never on the floor
Pro Tip: Once arranged, do not frequently move or touch the contents. The bowl is meant to store and protect wealth energy.
5. Three-Legged Money Toad (Jin Chan)
Powerful symbol of wealth accumulation and money flow
The Three-Legged Toad, or Jin Chan, is a mythical creature known for bringing sudden windfalls and protecting wealth. It’s typically shown sitting on coins, with a coin in its mouth, and often features engravings of auspicious symbols on its back.
Where to place it:
- Diagonally across from your front door, facing inward to “bring” money in
- On your desk, near a cash register, or in your wealth area
- Avoid bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, or placing it on the ground
Pro Tip: Make sure the toad is facing into the room, not out the door, and that it keeps the coin in its mouth to maintain its wealth-drawing power.
Final Thoughts
Feng Shui is not about superstition—it’s about intention and alignment. These five traditional items are more than just decorations; they are energetic tools that reflect your values and attract abundance.
You don’t have to use all five at once. Start with one that speaks to you, place it with purpose, and observe how the energy in your space shifts. Sometimes, all it takes is a small symbolic action to invite big financial changes.
