62. *Reiki vs. Splankna: What's the Difference? with SARAH THIESSEN

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 sits down with Sarah J. Thiessen, founder of Splankna, to tackle one of the most frequently asked questions in the Christian emotional healing space:

What exactly is Reiki?

Many Christians have heard conflicting opinions about Reiki. Some view it as a harmless wellness practice, while others believe it has spiritual implications that deserve careful consideration. In this candid conversation, Laura and Sarah take a thoughtful look at Reiki's history, origins, core beliefs, and how it compares to Splankna.

Together they discuss:

What Reiki is and where it originated The foundational beliefs behind Reiki practice Whether Reiki and Splankna are the same thing Why people often confuse the two modalities The role of spiritual authority in Christian emotional healing How to evaluate healing practices through a biblical lens Common misconceptions about Splankna and energy psychology Questions Christians should ask when considering any healing modality Sarah brings decades of experience studying emotional healing, trauma, theology, and spiritual formation to this important discussion. Whether you're curious about Reiki, concerned about New Age influences, or simply trying to better understand what makes Splankna distinct, this episode offers a thoughtful framework for evaluating these topics through a Christian worldview.
