Keeping your mind focused on a single thought, prioritising health and overall wellness is essential to keeping one’s emotional and physical wellbeing healthy. In our busy lives today, it seems like it’s become a luxury to sit still for an hour and do nothing but focus on breathing.

Even a 10-minute break feels like it could take away from the hours of office work, taking care of children or tending to other day-to-day tasks before crashing to your bed or chilling to a Netflix show. But meditation is an essential part of everyone’s lives, especially at a time when distractions pop up everywhere.

A one-day wellness festival, supported by the Year of Tolerance in Dubai, called the Dhyantnotsav Festival, wants to teach residents how the practice of meditation can be adapted to ANYONE’s daily life, adding to the value of it.

It’s time to start prioritising yourself, and if there’s a FREE event in Dubai that wants to help, then why the heck not?

Namaste the problems away, people!
