So, I have fibromyalgia, and the past couple of days have been really painful and hard for me. On Saturday I was lucky enough to be able to get a massage, which usually stops my muscle spasms. Part of fibromyalgia is that it doesn't just affect my back, but all of my joints; and so the massage extended to my arms and legs. Everything was going fine until the massuse got to my legs. By the time he reached my thighs, I began to cry. It wasn't that it hurt, or that I was uncomfortable, it just released something in me that made me burst into tears. (Luckily he was blind, so I don't think he ever noticed.)
I was reading a little about it, but apparently every cell in our bodies stores memories of everything that has ever happened to it. And certain events, like massaging those cells, can release those memories into your body. My thighs must carry an incredible amount of negative memories between my abuse and failed relationships. I still don't really know what to do with this information, but I was advised to pray over myself and speak the name of Jesus over my thighs, which sounds like a pretty awkward idea. I tried it, and I ended up laughing at myself. I know that, whatever it was, Christ wants to heal it. And if He has to use weird avenues like massages, I dunno if it will be the most convenient or comfortable thing, but it works.
