At the end of our conversation, Tomas provides practical tips for getting started with meditation and how just 10 minutes, 3 times a week can show dramatic changes.   Key Takeaways: Meditation is a powerful tool for improving mental health and well-being. Finding fulfilment from within is more important than chasing external success. Checking in with ourselves and cultivating a present-moment mindset is crucial for personal growth and happiness. Settling the mind through meditation allows for clarity, spaciousness, and new ideas. Developing a meditation habit can start with just 10 minutes, three times a week. Functional breathing, with the belly expanding on the in-breath, promotes grounding and reduces anxiety. Triggering the relaxation response before sleep can improve sleep quality and rejuvenation.   Chapters  05:30 How Tomas Discovered Meditation 12:22 Integrating Meditation into Daily Life 20:16 Finding Wholeness and Happiness 24:34 Getting Started with Meditation 35:03 The Benefits of Meditation 46:17 Meditation for Personal Growth 49:12 Developing a Meditation Habit 50:24 Relaxation Response Technique 57:48 Triggering the Relaxation Response for Better Sleep
