What is Splankna?

Splankna is a biblically based, mind-body tool for inner healing.

Why the name?

The term “Splankna” derives from New Testament Greek and translates to “bowels” or “gut.” In the context of the New Testament, it was often used metaphorically, similar to how we refer to the “subconscious” today, representing a deep, instinctive understanding or the body’s internal storage system. The Splankna Protocol is designed to directly address the subconscious origins of various symptoms, providing a holistic approach to wellness.

How does it work?

The counseling process can sometimes feel lengthy, and the changes may not always be as immediate as we hope. In contrast, Splankna therapy offers a unique approach by integrating body, soul, and spirit in harmony with the Holy Spirit, enabling quicker resolutions to emotional trauma. When these three aspects of a person connect under this divine guidance, meaningful transformation can take place. Our bodies naturally hold onto emotions like frequencies, and through a simple technique of “touch and thought,” we can help release these stored emotional energies, much like letting go of a helium balloon. Once the emotional barriers tied to trauma are cleared, Splankna empowers clients to move beyond the limiting lies and vows formed during those challenging times, paving the way for healing and growth.

What makes it Christian?

Splankna encourages individuals to embrace the guidance of the Holy Spirit, inviting a divine exploration of the deeply stored emotional experiences in a person's history. While we may not always be aware of the origins of our emotional challenges, God knows and is ready to listen. Through the name and authority of Jesus, clients can release agreements with significant lies and vows formed during traumatic experiences. Splankna provides a practical framework for partnering with God in the moment, allowing you to experience His transformative work in your heart.

Is this new age?

New Age philosophy emphasizes the notion that “all is one,” suggesting that human beings inherently possess divine potential within themselves. Splankna completely rejects these as unbiblical ideas. In contrast, Splankna offers a different perspective, highlighting the importance of personal identity and the sovereignty of God. It embraces the belief that human beings are wonderfully created and are dependent on God’s guidance and authority. Splankna recognizes the vital role of the Father’s wisdom, power, and will in our lives, rather than focusing solely on human false potential.

Is this “energy” work?

Splankna can be understood as a practice of energy work. The term "energy" here refers to the underlying principles of sub-atomic motion, which is explored in the field of quantum physics. While some interpretations may veer into new age concepts, it's worth recognizing that if creation includes this theoretical energetic level, it is part of a design that serves God's purposes. This perspective suggests that energy and frequency play a role in how thoughts can have tangible effects, resonating like frequencies in the world around us. It's important to emphasize that while God sustains all things, including the energetic aspects of creation, He transcends the concept of energy and cannot be reduced to a mere force. God organizes, animates, and sustains everything down to the smallest elements, yet He remains distinct from His creation. He embodies personhood as revealed through God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, inviting us into a relationship that is both deeply meaningful and transformative.

What is muscle testing?

Muscle testing is based on the theory that any major muscle in the body will respond to energetic shifts. Quantum physics reveals that at the subatomic level of creation, thought and emotion appear to possess a certain substance, akin to a frequency or a signature resonance. When I ask you a question, the frequency of my meaning passes between us, and it hits your body as a “match” or “mismatch.” When your body responds with congruence to an idea, it shifts your energy system, and that shift shows up in the muscle. Because the body naturally responds to ideas this way, a muscle test can be used as a crude yes/no tool. Muscle testing is not a perfect tool, but still a useful one as long as it is covered under prayer. On the second page of my website, there are two YouTube videos, the video on the right describes Muscle Testing, please review it.

What kind of results does it produce?

Feeling stuck is a common experience for many of us. Often, our willpower alone cannot overcome the challenging emotional responses we face. Splankna offers a pathway to effectively address these emotions by targeting their root causes at a deeper frequency level. Our conscious mind doesn’t select symptoms; there are deeper layers of our being that influence these choices. In Romans 7, Paul poignantly describes the struggle of wanting to do what is right but often finding ourselves doing the opposite. He contrasts two aspects of our will: “the spirit man” and “the flesh.” Splankna serves as a tool to align our body and soul with the choices of our spirit, guiding us toward a fuller experience of life—encompassing strength, joy, and freedom. Through Splankna work, God releases individuals from a variety of emotional challenges, and in many cases, even addresses physical issues that have emotional roots. This approach empowers us to find healing and restore balance in our lives.
