Teacher: John Windsor

John Windsor has been a qualified teacher of Transcendental Meditation for over 30 years. He has given person instruction to over 1,300 people and has led over 150 residential courses for Transcendental Meditation practitioners. He taught for 20 years in the London Borough of Hackney, at a time when the area was reputed to be Britain's most deprived. Before becoming a teacher of Transcendental Meditation, John was a national newspaper journalist and has only recently retired from writing about the art market for The Independent and The Observer. After graduating in English from St John's College, Cambridge, he joined the Daily Mail as a staff reporter. His stint included three years in the Belfast office at the start of the troubles. Having learned Transcendental Meditation in 1970 he joined The Guardian. His full-page article in The Guardian on Transcendental Meditation was drawn to the attention of Maharishi, who invited him to spend two days with him at the national headquarters, then in Lucerne, Switzerland. He stayed for two years. During that time he took a six-month in-residence training course to qualify as a teacher of Transcendental Meditation. He moved from London to Derbyshire with his wife, Christine, in 2000. As a teacher, he is renowned for his humour and for his deep insights into the simple, natural principles underlying Transcendental Meditation.
John says: "I welcome inquiries from everyone, including those who have tried other methods of meditation."
