Meditation in a Noisy Building: A Five-Minute Start

You do not need a silent villa to sit still. Dubai apartments come with lifts, kids in the corridor, and a neighbour who drills at odd hours.

Sit on a cushion or the edge of the bed. Close your eyes for five breaths you can actually count. When a sound arrives, name it once — lift, traffic, thought — and return to the breath.

Meditation here is not escaping the city. It is practising kindness toward whatever the city is doing while you sit.
