A Brief Explanation… Splankna
This field is generally called “Mind-Body Work”. Splankna is a Christian approach to emotional healing. It consists of an understanding of 3 styles of mind-body work:
Neuro-Emotional Technique (N.E.T.) Thought Field Therapy, (T.F.T.) (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing)
All are based on the following assumptions…
#1. The subconscious mind has all of one's life experiences catalogued like a computer hard-drive. Emotions from painful life experiences seem to be stored in the body like electrical charges, in different organ points along the Meridian System depending on the type of emotion. The Meridian System of energy is what Chiropractics and Acupuncture are based on. It is theorized to be the path along which the body’s energy/electricity flows.
#2. “Symptoms” are understood to be the result of a current life experience “triggering” anolder stored trauma and re-activating the old emotional content creating some form of overreaction. The clearest example is a phobia. If I had a bad fall as a child, the memory and emotion of that experience are stored in the subconscious mind. As an adult, my conscious mind says “This fear is irrational. I am perfectly safe to look out a four-story window.” But when I try that, it’s as if my computer system says “What do we have stored on height?” It double-clicks that old file and up to my screen comes all the stored emotion and my body has a panic attack, while my conscious mind disagrees that I’m in any danger.
#3. The body is capable of resolving or releasing these stored emotional charges so that the“fuel” behind a symptom is no longer present. What the body needs to accomplish this is some style of "Circuitry + Intention". (Intention being what the person is thinking of, focusing on, remembering etc.) All mind-body treatments that are effective use some combination of physical circuitry + intention. For instance, the client will think of feeling anger at 6 years old when one parent had an extra-marital affair, while touching the liver alarm point on the body where the anger is stored. In just a few seconds, and usually with some spoken forgiveness, the body seems to resolve this stored charge of emotion, as if the “file” is cleaned out. When all the emotions fueling a symptom are resolved, the symptom tends to lift. Spiritual Aspects: We trust that God knows what we need better than we do. We invite Him to lead the entire process and to choose for us where to go in the client’s heart. When traumas occur in our lives, our enemy seems to capitalize on our vulnerability by offering deals/bargains to the deep heart. Sometimes our hearts are deceived and we agree for coping strategies or with symptoms themselves. In the Healing Protocol we ask God to reveal any agreements the client made in conjunction with the identified trauma and we assist the client in repenting of the agreement and breaking it, including all the enemy’s claim to the person and entities attached. In this way, every effort is made to resolve the symptom from all angles, Physically, Emotionally and Spiritually. Splankna Training offers a Christian protocol for Energy Psychology developed from an integration of Neuro-Emotional Technique, Thought Field Therapy, E.M.D.R. (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and spiritual warfare. It provides a straightforward, mechanistic treatment procedure for alleviating a wide range of psychological and physical symptoms through both a Healing Protocol and a Creative Protocol. It attempts to address symptoms comprehensively; attending to the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the problem and its solution.
