In I Chronicles 28:11 it is written:
“Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple, its buildings, its storerooms, its upper parts, its inner rooms and the place of atonement. 12 He gave him the plans of all that the Spirit had put in his mind for the courts of the temple of the LORD and all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the temple of God and for the treasuries for the dedicated things.”
In the Bible, the temple that Solomon built was to be a type of our body. The temple was composed of many parts just like we are, with organs, glands, systems and many other parts such as hair and teeth, etc., etc. And just like the temple with its storerooms where things were stored and kept, we also have places in the body that are like storerooms.
The storerooms were meant to contain all the wonderful promises and gifts that God had given his people, but in the Bible it is written that these storerooms were also used to store all manner of detestable and abominable things. Things that were never intended to be stored or meant to be in the temple found their way to the storage rooms.
Similarly we have this propensity to store things that are not intended to be stored, especially in this amazing temple we call our body. We often find ourselves storing resentment and unforgiveness. At times we find ourselves storing anxiety and worry. We even find ourselves storing guilt and remorse. These are things that are never meant to be stored in our human body.
Sometimes when people receive a body massage, certain memories will pop into their consciousness. Things they hadn’t thought of for many years emerges with a rare clarity of thought that hasn’t been there before. Or during a massage a person can experience a sudden bout of sadness and tears or a flash of anger. This can be because the storage rooms, located throughout our body, have been accessed and opened and things begin flowing into and out of our consciousness.
