How to Dissolve Challenges

features of our own body - and how others react to it - inform us unerringly what inner attitudes we still need to attend to. The general mechanism: If a particular form prompts emotional reactions like attraction or rejection, this always indicates that the theme this form represents is actively challenging us now.
Accelerated Comprehension This learning-mechanism is highly effective, but often takes long time to complete its lesson. As long as we are unaware of the informative function this challenge presents, we typically try to counteract lack of attractiveness by fashionable dress, cosmetics, diet, working out etc. - only to notice that the effect is highly fleeting at best and hardly ever impresses those special people whose approval we really crave.
Once we understand the basic mechanism of this challenge, we become able to effectively improve our appearance and attractiveness - if this is our intention.
The Challenge If we are unhappy with our present appearance, we may at any time influence our bodily form and its radiation by simply changing our desires, attitudes and actions. Each change in our longings, feelings, fears and the intensity with which we project them into activity (or block them) invariably also alters our bodily form and attractiveness.
