HEALTH IS WEALTH.
The spine as the original ledger
There is a symbol so ancient it predates medicine itself.
The caduceus. Two serpents coiled around a central staff. Wings at the crown.
You’ve seen it on ambulances, hospital signage, the logos of pharmaceutical companies. We’ve inherited it as a symbol of medicine, of healing, of health. But the caduceus was originally the staff of Hermes — the god not of medicine, but of commerce. Of trade routes, merchants, thieves, and the movement of wealth between worlds.
Which raises a question worth sitting with: why is the symbol of money and the symbol of medicine the same symbol?
Because somewhere, in the deep grammar of symbol, health and wealth were never separate things.
The spine as the original ledger
The central staff of the caduceus is the spine. And in every esoteric and somatic tradition worth its salt, the spine is not merely structural — it is the axis along which life force moves. Kundalini rising. Sushumna nadi. The central channel. The antennae through which the nervous system receives, integrates, and distributes information to every organ, every cell, every system in the body.
The two serpents are the dual currents — ida and pingala in yogic anatomy, the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches in clinical neuroscience. They spiral. They balance. They regulate the entire neuroendocrine system — and electromagnetic field.
A spine in coherence is a body in flow. And a body in flow is one that can generate, receive, and circulate — not just life force, but capacity. Energy. Resources.
So when people receive a session with me or train with me, in my modality, Spinal Attunement, what they start to notice is two fold — not just improvements in their health, but also within their creative capacity and ability to generate wealth.
Pssst… I offer these sessions online twice a month in a group setting via the Soma Mystica® Monthly Membership Portal, Portal to Self
I also have one live practitioner training coming up this year in June in Schoorl, The Netherlands at Avalon Retreat Centre and we are currently taking applications here
I also have a monthly membership space for women wanting to bridge this Health x Wealth Axis. It is called Elysium. In that space I work with the energetic field, giving attunements and intuitive health advice through energetic body scans. The women in the space have been giving incredible feedback lately about how pinpoint precise the attunements and advice is, and how they walk out feeling incredible soft and in-body.
This is what I do in my Body Oracle sessions also — however, its an afforable way to receive ongoingly with me.
What blocks wealth blocks health. And vice versa.
Modern neuroscience is beginning to confirm what indigenous and esoteric traditions encoded symbolically for millennia: a dysregulated nervous system is not just a health problem. It is a capacity problem.
Chronic sympathetic activation — the body locked in low-grade threat — doesn’t only suppress immune function, digestion, and cellular repair. It narrows perception. It contracts the window through which opportunity can be seen, received, and acted upon. The body in survival cannot dream, cannot build, cannot sustain abundance of any kind.
The Parasympathetic Nervous System & Specifically The Vagus Nerve (The Vagus Nerve is responsible for 80% of the Parasympathetic NS function, which is why there is a big focus in the Trauma Industry on PolyVagal Theory) — that great wandering nerve that governs social connection, gut intelligence, and the felt sense of safety — is also the nerve that governs the capacity to rest into receiving. To tolerate success. To hold more without bracing against it.
You cannot out-strategy a dysregulated nervous system. You cannot manifest your way around a spine that is braced for impact.
The body is not a vehicle for your ambitions. It is the medium through which all of your ambitions either flow — or don’t.
Two words for the same underlying reality: the free movement of vital force through a living system.
At the crown of the caduceus: wings. The symbol of Hermes in flight, yes — but also the image of what becomes possible when the two currents are integrated and the central channel is clear.
In the body: a coherent, mobile, responsive spine connected to a regulated nervous system, capable of full breath, full presence, full range.
In life: the felt experience of being unobstructed. Not without challenge — but resourced enough to meet it. Not without grief or complexity — but with the interior spaciousness to hold it without collapse.
This is what the ancients were pointing to. Not a transaction between health and wealth, but an identity between them. Two words for the same underlying reality: the free movement of vital force through a living system.
So what does this mean practically?
It means that tending to the body is not a luxury you earn after you’ve built the life. It is the precondition for building it.
It means that the spine — your spine — is not merely a structure to be adjusted or managed. It is the axis of your becoming. The channel through which your capacity to generate, to receive, to sustain, actually moves.
It means that the caduceus was never a hospital logo. It was your map to both Health & Wealth.
