Jonathan became a TM teacher soon after graduating from Oxford University in Experimental Psychology. The benefits he had gained from learning meditation - and the fact that it was so easy and effective - seemed to satisfy what he had hoped to gain from his degree course; so becoming a TM teacher was a natural progression.

According to Jonathan, our modern lives have become so complicated that to be able to find an oasis of calm inside ourselves isn't really a luxury any more, it's a necessity. It doesn't matter what our experience of life has been to this point; we all need a calmer mind and the nourishment of deep physical rest. Anyone can do it.
