Meeting Your Highest Self: A Journey Through Shadow and Light

from The ExtraOrdinary Self Podcast · host Maria del Gaiso

In this deeply personal episode, I take you inside a guided meditation experience that changed my perspective on self-love and transformation. Drawing from Jungian shadow work, Debbie Ford’s teachings, and the wisdom of Jeff Foster, I share what it was like to meet both my highest and shadow self in a sacred mental space—a lush green forest where clarity and self-acceptance unfolded.We explore how our wounds, as Rumi reminds us, are the very places where light enters. I discuss the importance of shadow work in integrating the parts of ourselves we often suppress and how true meditation—both from a spiritual and biblical perspective—guides us toward wholeness.By the end of this episode, you’ll have practical steps to start your own journey of self-integration, from journaling and mirror work to conscious dialogue with your shadow self. If you’re ready to move beyond self-rejection and step fully into your highest self, this episode is for you.Tune in and begin the journey of embracing all of who you are. This is a public episode.
