Week 1 of Meditation

Olga Lacroix
About this episode

Olga Lacroix introduces the first meditation in a 40-day meditation season, explaining that participants do not need to believe anything or follow strict rules. The series draws on the historical purpose of slowing down, releasing distractions, and becoming more aware of life. Each week focuses on gentle practice with no pressure, letting go of patterns that disconnect people from themselves. The goal is not self-fixing or becoming someone different, but returning to who you already are by simply showing up, welcoming thoughts like plans, conversations, and worries, and creating space to connect to the present.
