There is a lot of off-centered energy in the collective consciousness of Earth, as the society is designed for people to be centered mostly in their head/mental activity, or lower chakras/survival. This creates a lot of imbalances, distortions, experiences of feeling out of place, off-center, disoriented in the world, disconnected from our true self, etc.
There is nothing wrong with any chakra, simply the Heart is the starting, merging and balancing point, a portal from where we can remain in tune with the world, and remain aware of energies as they are and avoid illusions more easily (being centered in the head can get lost and confused). The center is always the most important point, and practices to keep the Heart clear and open, with our consciousness centered there, are the best foundation for spiritual practice in my experience. Through the Inner Heart we can feel at home anywhere, embraced in the Oneness of Existence/Source.
