Healing Metaphors A-Z - Cellulitis

Cellulitis
Cellulitis is a diffused inflammatory process within our tissues, reflecting our feelings of being overwhelmed, beleaguered and weary by demands, overwork, conflict and our emotional process. We are feeling attacked by some outside issue, and possibly even feel deceived or ‘sold out.’ Feeling overwhelmed and overpowered by the issues at hand, we are fighting valiantly against the odds. While all illnesses have this dynamic of making us into an object and treating ourselves as one, this can be a particularly big issue with cellulitis. Fundamentally, we have identified ourselves as only a body and resisted our spiritual legacy.
