Ezekiel 1:19 Meaning When the Living Creatures Went
When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. When the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
What does Ezekiel 1:19 mean?
The living creatures are the vital forces of consciousness within a person, and the wheels are the spinning energy-centers of the body that turn in exact time with them. When the inner life moves, the wheels move; when it rises from the earth of the flesh, the wheels lift with it, because the turning centers and the living power are one linked system that cannot act apart.

The living creatures are the vital forces of consciousness within a person, and the wheels are the spinning energy-centers of the body that turn in exact time with them. When the inner life moves, the wheels move; when it rises from the earth of the flesh, the wheels lift with it, because the turning centers and the living power are one linked system that cannot act apart. The rising from the earth is the lifting of awareness up off the bodily ground.
The faculties and the whirling centers of a person are so bound together that spirit and its vehicle move as one. As the living force within ascends, the wheeling energy of the body ascends with it, never lagging and never leading.
Living creatures: the vital moving forces of consciousness within a person Wheels: the spinning energy-centers of the body that turn in exact time with the inner life Earth: the bodily ground from which awareness lifts as it rises

Live Ezekiel 1:19 today
- When your mood lifts or drops today, find it in your body first: shoulders, jaw, chest, stomach. The body is not reporting late, it is moving at the same time.
- Before a conversation you are dreading, unclench your hands and let your shoulders down. You are not faking calm, you are letting the other half of you come along.
- In traffic or a long line, when your patience is going, slow your breathing out instead of arguing with yourself. The feeling cannot stay up there alone once its wheel stops spinning.
Where in my body is today's mood actually sitting right now?
The same truth in other traditions
Taoism · Chuang Tzu
The skilled butcher does not force the blade. His attention and his hand move together, so the work goes where the joints already open.
Yoga · Patanjali
Breath and mind are tied on the same string. Settle one and the other settles, agitate one and the other follows.
Zen
There is no posture of the mind that the body does not already hold. Sit like a mess and you will think like one.
