God Is Your Shadow — Reciprocity, Power, and the First Movement

In this episode of Underneath the Underneath, mystical currents and sacred texts converge around Parshat Eikev to ask: What is the nature of our relationship with the Divine?Drawing on a teaching from the Baal Shem Tov and the verse from Psalms — Hashem Tzilcha, “God is your shadow” — we explore the mirroring between human and Heaven, and how every movement below awakens a movement above. Through text study, reflection, and somatic practice, we attune to the spiritual anatomy of openness: the open hand, the satiated belly, the rooted spine. Together we inquire into power, presence, and where the first movement begins — cultivating a relationship with the Divine that is both deeply feminine in its receptivity and grounded in the clarity of the masculine.Ohmek Session dated August 12, 2025__________More on Yocheved Sidof:Yocheved Sidof is a mystic, teacher, trauma-informed spiritual guide and leader of Ohmek, a community of women and men pursuing deeper ways of Being.__________Deepen with Ohmek:Ohmek is a community of women and men pursuing deeper ways of being.It is the space that holds all, yet remains empty, the void that allows healing and transformation to take place, take shape, belong, integrate and disperse.It is an invitation inward, into a space and community, as well as one’s own inner world. A place to be stretched and to come together, to feel at home in exploration, with room to be and to breathe.At our upstate retreat center and Brooklyn locations, in our sacred gatherings, healing containers and embodied mysticism classes, we invite you into spiritual experiences and sacred spaces that allow us — collectively and individually — to explore our own depths, underneath the underneath.Website: www.ohmekliving.comInstagram: @ohmek.livingTo support these sessions and our offerings, strengthen our community, and enhance your engagement we welcome you to join MAAGAL, our founding membership circlehttps://www.patreon.com/ohmek/membership
