Episode Details

Is Splankna New Age? In this episode, we respond directly to claims made by Melissa Dougherty and break down whether Splankna aligns with a biblical worldview or crosses into energy healing.

If you've seen "Splankna Exposed" and felt confused, concerned, or curious—this conversation will give you clarity, context, and a grounded Christian perspective.

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, we respond directly to the claims made in a recent video by Melissa Dougherty titled "Splankna Exposed: Energy Healing Disguised as Christianity." This conversation is not about attacking—but about bringing clarity, discernment, and truth to a topic that many Christians are wrestling with.

Is Splankna New Age? Is it rooted in unbiblical practices? Or is it a misunderstood approach to addressing the mind-body connection through a biblical lens?

In this episode, Laura Milliken and Sarah Thiessen walk through the biggest concerns surrounding "energy," meridians, and body-based techniques. They unpack where these ideas originated, what modern science does and doesn't support, and how Christians can think critically without falling into fear or deception. Most importantly, they anchor the conversation in Scripture—clarifying that God is the source of life, and any regulation or breakthrough experienced through Splankna is not about manipulating an independent force, but stewarding the body as it was designed.

This episode is for anyone who has felt confused, cautious, or even skeptical—and wants a grounded, biblically-aligned perspective.
