I take the integral viewpoint, we need to care for and keep our mind, body and spirit healthy and they will see to the beauty.
As for using intention to change my body, I absolutely have. And long before I knew anything about intention-manifestation. Through it I have almost completely healed from chronic health issues that I suffered with for more than a decade and lost 30 pounds that I put on when those problems made me unable to exercise.
This intention manifested in two stages. The first actually was the weight. I realized that I needed to take some weight off for my health and I decided to treat my body better, but I also decided that my body already knew how to lose the weight and all I needed to do was support it. I didn't need to work off calorie-for-calorie every extra pound. I lost the 30 pounds in three months without self-denial or excruciating workouts.
Then I decided I wanted to reduce the stress that was clearly damaging my health, and I was led to a style of yoga that I would not have chosen had I known more about it. That's when my overall health took the dramatic turn. I still have two things left that I want to manifest into health.
You can't go wrong intending abundant health; just let the universe take the reins and live congruently so you can receive what it's waiting to manifest.
