Or is it the opposite? Whichever way it goes, it makes sense and is obviously true.<\/p>\n<p>If we look sick, generally we are.\u00a0 If our normally neat homes look like a disaster for no obvious reason, then there&#8217;s a big chance we are feeling like a bit of a disaster inside as well.<\/p>\n<p>At this point in history we\u00a0 all seem to be\u00a0 wondering what will go wrong next in the world &#8211; our jobs, money, housing and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Shri Mataji we can meditate and learn to dissolve these worries.\u00a0 She has told us the qualities of each chakra so that we can feel the true peace we have within us. These are the qualities that the entire planet needs. She tells us we can help to save the world by helping it to change.<\/p>\n<p>This is a huge statement until we remember it starts with us.\u00a0\u00a0If it is true that &#8220;Change one person and you change the world&#8221; and &#8220;As it is within, so it is without&#8221;,\u00a0 then if we can clear our chakras we have done just that. We have begun to change the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Not convinced? If you are practising regular Sahaja Yoga meditation then you must have noticed some change in your niche in the world.\u00a0\u00a0If we all could do it our improved personal worlds would finally have to\u00a0connect.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine that!
