Rashnu Philips Güppertz

4-8-1958, married, 2 children

 

I love people and have an urge to do something meaningful for them. Through my company Rashnu Transformations I want to put my creative power at the service of my beloved fellow humans, while at the same time bring my mission of "Truth, Wisdom & Beauty" to the attention.

Truth has to do with the name I received in 1990 from my spiritual master Osho: Swami Anand Rashnu means "Bliss of truth". Through him I have got the assignment to be authentic, to live my own truth, to always be true to myself. Not a simple task, but a very instructive way to go.

 

Wisdom is what I hope to acquire once. As a child I wanted to become a saint, that seemed to me "cool". Later that became an aspiration for the development of consciousness, to achieve the highest possible level of vibration by opening of the heart, passionate work and rigorous self-examination. At this point in my life I feel I have accumulated enough wisdom to be able to inspire others through training and coaching.

 

Beauty is reflected in my artistic work: music, visual arts and design. I even consider my work in IT as an artistic endeavor: producing software or whatever IT-artefacts that are as beautiful as possible, elegant solutions for all kinds of complex abstract problems.

 

I am very curious and always like to know the fine details. Because I am good at collecting, structuring and transferring information, teaching has become one of the central themes in my life. I want to share what I know and help others explore new horizons. By explaining things to others, I am also deepening my understanding myself. In everything I do, I almost automatically end up in a role as a teacher. Already in primary school I tutored classmates. I have given piano and keyboard lessons for many years. In my work in IT I often supervise the onboarding of new colleagues, so that they can quickly become productive. I write manuals, books, give theme sessions, workshops and training. In recent years I have increasingly focused on providing training in business and growth centers on all kinds of subjects that are insufficiently addressed in regular education, such as physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health, finding a balance between male and feminine energy, and the deeper meaning of work, all from a spiritual perspective. I’m leading social meditations, and offering very practical applied spirituality through individual, team and corporate coaching. Furthermore, I'm also working on an online course for learning to improvise on the piano.
