The idea that fat masks fear is a Senser truth, and is tough for Shapers to use. This is translation of this idea for Shapers.
Many Shapers are fat. Fat is attractive, in our past fat was a great resource to get and store for times when there wasn't enough food. From a meta-perspective, there is a very strong correlation between fat and fear.
People who have 1st energy center fears, fear of dying, starving to death, their house burning down, tend to put on fat deposits around that part of the body, and end up with a fat ass. People with fear about emotional issues, tend to put on belly fat. People with fears about social issues, tend to have one of those high-up bellies. People with fears and insecurities with the things that represent thighs, put on fat around the thighs, and so on. It doesn't matter if the rest of your body is skinny - where you hold a fear in your body, your body will tend to put on fat. When you start to clear out the fear, the fat will start to dissolve.
Traditionally, the solution is to go find the fear inside and feel it, process it, and let it go. That's difficult for Shapers though, there is too much feeling in there and not enough doing.
Look at people who are fat, and see how they get out of bed: are they excited as they jump out of bed and into the shower, or do they moan and groan and roll out of bed after several hours with a big sigh on? Are you dragging through your day slowly, sulking and complaining a lot, or are you bouncing up and down, running from here to there, because you have decided to be happy? Shapers who develop an attitude where they are active, moving, doing, with lots of excitement, will start to lose the frightened parts of themselves.
Do, do things fast, do things with excitement - and all the fear's going to come up. If when it comes up, you refuse to allow it and choose DOING (active, alive, with happy), the joy becomes bigger than the fear and will fill all the places, and there won't be a place left for the fear anymore. Once the fear starts melting away, you don't have to keep protecting it with layers of fat.
