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?

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.

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom.

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken addresses one of the most misunderstood and widespread issues in both Christian and clinical spaces: emotional numbness. Many people aren't anxious anymore. They aren't sad. They aren't joyful. They aren't deeply connected. They are simply… functioning. In this episode, Laura explains why emotional numbness is not spiritual maturity, personality, or "peace." It is a nervous system survival state that develops when emotion has felt unsafe for too long. She breaks down how numbness forms, why so many high-functioning Christians live in it without realizing it, and why you cannot think, pray, or discipline your way back into feeling. This conversation reframes numbness through both neuroscience and faith—showing how God designed the body to protect, and how that same design also allows the body to heal. Laura also walks listeners through a simple 5–10 minute at-home nervous system practice to begin restoring safety and emotional awareness when guided care like Splankna isn't immediately available. This episode is for anyone who loves God, loves their family, and yet feels disconnected, flat, or emotionally offline.

In this episode, Laura Milliken introduces the foundational concepts of energy psychology and explains why it has become such an effective approach for working with trauma.

The episode also addresses common misconceptions about energy psychology and clarifies how Splankna uniquely integrates faith, prayer, and spiritual authority into this work. This episode is ideal for listeners who want a science-informed, faith-centered explanation of why addressing the body is essential for emotional healing. ✨ Key Takeaways Energy psychology works with the body's energy systems, not just thoughts Trauma is stored in the body, not only in conscious memory The nervous system must feel safe and regulated for healing to occur You cannot think your way out of a nervous system problem Energy psychology techniques can be effective for anxiety, PTSD, and emotional stress Splankna is a Christ-centered expression of energy psychology Memory reconsolidation allows emotional memories to be updated without re-traumatization Healing is often faster when the body is addressed first Energy psychology complements traditional therapy rather than replacing it Safety and regulation are non-negotiable in trauma work

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken unpacks one of the most subtle but destructive belief systems in modern Christianity: the performance-based gospel. Laura explains how many believers unknowingly relate to God as employees instead of sons and daughters—striving, proving, and exhausting themselves in an attempt to earn intimacy that was already given. Through the lens of Splankna, identity work, and Scripture, she reveals how this mindset leads to emotional burnout, anxiety, shame, and spiritual disconnection. This episode invites listeners to confront false beliefs about grace, surrender self-sufficiency, and rediscover what it means to live from Christ instead of for Christ. Laura walks through how understanding your identity in Christ is foundational for emotional freedom, inner healing, and lasting transformation. If you've ever felt spiritually tired, pressured to "do more," or afraid you're not measuring up—this conversation is for you. ✨ Key Takeaways A performance-based gospel leads to spiritual burnout and emotional exhaustion Many Christians confuse spiritual disciplines with spiritual worth Grace is not permission—it is empowerment Emotional freedom begins with understanding your identity in Christ Your spiritual life was never meant to be fueled by effort, but by intimacy Surrendering to grace requires letting go of control and outcomes Sonship produces rest, confidence, and security—not anxiety Your identity in Christ is unchanging, even when your behavior fluctuates Living in grace exposes perfectionism and self-sufficiency The journey of learning grace is ongoing and deeply liberating

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, we're stepping back to talk about lifestyle Christianity—what it really means to be all in with Christ. Too often, we try to follow Jesus halfway, but halfway commitment brings halfway results. Scripture makes it clear: Jesus isn't lukewarm, He's all or nothing. Laura shares biblical truth, powerful analogies, and a personal story about trusting God with her son Milo's ankle health. You'll hear why believing in God isn't enough, why getting to heaven is just the beginning, and how living in Christ's upside-down kingdom changes everything. ✨ Takeaways: Partial surrender leads to partial transformation. Even the demons believe in God (James 2:19)—true discipleship is more than belief. Jesus calls us to daily surrender and all-in commitment (Luke 9:23). The kingdom of God flips worldly logic—true greatness, strength, and life are found in surrender. Being “all in” means trusting Christ fully in every area, even in the unknowns.
