Physically, Cellulite can occur then connective fibers underneath the skin become weak or lose their elasticity. It can cause the skin to look dimpled and lumpy, usually effecting the buttocks and thighs but can occur in other areas as well. Hormones can also play a role in cellulite. As estrogen decreases, blood flow to the issue under the skin also decreases, creating less oxygen, resulting in lower collagen production.
But most importantly and healing, is to uncover and work on the emotional and mental aspects of Cellulite.
Majority of the time when we find cellulite on our bodies we go into panic and feelings of disgust. Then we go into shaming our self and our body, fearing what others will think, and then anxiety about being seen rushes in and triggers the need to hide while we figure out how to "fix" our body. This only causes more blame and shame on ourselves and body.
Cellulite can be triggering and can cause depression, lack of self confidence, cause you to feel isolated, and feel like your body and/or life is ruined, especially if you grew up hearing and seeing these things from your family and society.
Emotionally, Cellulite can represent stored anger and self punishment, as well as feeling like you are being held down and confined.It can also represent lack of love in life showing up in the Lymphatic System. The more we focus on these things emotionally and focus on the physical Cellulite, the more prominent they seem, causing more fear, anxiety and shame.
