Youri brings a practical and profound approach to experientially learning and knowing the nondual understanding. He is an experienced and masterful teacher, listener and coach in that he meets you where you are and guide you to see and know yourself and the world in a whole new way.
Youri facilitates the online coaching intensive. The weekly sessions help you remember who you essentially are. During the sessions, we cover various meditations that will boost your nondual confidence.
Youri is the author of “Enlightenment without bells and whistles” and “Not your responsibility”. The books will be used to structure the coaching. The 1:1 NDLCI trajectory enables us to optimally tailor the content of Youri’s books to your specific situation and challenges.
Youri is skilled at pointing out the beingness that is beyond mind and then resisting the pull to move back to the mind to understand and make sense of it. He is able to stay focused on the elusive, ungraspable thisness that is here before the mind categorises, labels, tells stories about, and diminishes this magical display.
Youri does an amazing job in trying to describe the Indescribable. He often doesn't give answers but mainly directions to find the answers yourself. Which is way more powerful, because than it can come from deep knowing, instead of a new dogma or concept to hold onto.
Youri is rustig en ontspannen. Hij heeft humor, is verwelkomend en is goed in de juiste vragen stellen op het juiste moment. Hij stipt diepere lagen aan van non-dualiteit.
I like how Youri often brings me back to the 'here and now', enabling me to inquire directly into our experience in order to validate (or otherwise) the 'no self'. Youri's presence is quiet, calm, affirming and inviting.
Youri omschrijft alles zeer uitgebreid. Hij is zeer goed in omschrijvende taal. Soms zó goed dat ik het niet meer begrijp :-). Zijn aanwezigheid is zacht en attentvol.
The sessions are constantly clear and to the point. Youri reflects in such a way that the mind becomes still, although that’s not a goal. Youri has words for what is hard to talk about!
Consider that over 90% of all your thoughts are completely unnecessary. You are consumed by endless stories about yourself. These stories distract you, your work as a coach, and your overall quality of life. The 10 transformations are aimed at freeing yourself from these. This results in:
Getting started with the transformations translates into an almost immediate decrease in stress and headaches. Imagine how liberating it is when the vast majority of your thoughts fall away, finally making room for relaxation.
Neuroscience supports that there are emotional and functional thoughts. These are correlated with two different brain networks. If the trivial network is deactivated, then the productive network is activated.
By empowering your meditation practice, you learn how to trust and tap into your inner resources more confidently. You can rely on this unconditional confidence during your own coach sessions.
The right meditations contribute to inner peace and tranquility. But how do you know if you are meditating correctly? That’s where the true power of the personal guidance from an experienced nondual coach comes in.
Each week we will cover one of the ten transformations. Associated with each transformation is a set of meditations. For each transformation, we will go through one powerful meditation.
The right focus for your three-stage rocket launches you to profound self-discovery. The three-stage rocket is basically a cyclical focus. The coaching program consists of 10 cycles in total, with one focus each week. The threefold focus relates to conditions, transformations and meditation forms.
The conditions are some powerful reminders that come in handy throughout the coaching. They strongly facilitate the transformations and empower the meditations.
Transformations form the categories of interventions. It forms the first filter for what you are most receptive to. The chosen transformation forms a beautiful entrance towards self-insight.
Based on the transformations, we cover matching interventions. An intervention contains tips and instructions for a specific self-inquiry exercise, empowering your nondual understanding.
The huge advantage of 1:1 coaching is that, unlike group coaching, we can narrow down our focus to your specific challenges and questions. Therefore, each session will guaranteed be 100% relevant to your unique situation. On top of that, Youri can adjust his coaching style according to what works best for you. This way you can get the most out of each session.
Youri Hermes (yourihermes.com) will provide the personal coaching. He has published two books about nonduality and actively co-facilitates online retreats.
Over the years, he has worked closely together with dozens of coaches. Years ago, the main focus of his coaching was on the business side. He found that this alone would be completely insufficient. There is something that is much more important. Youri decided to shift his primary focus on helping coaches to develop true inner confidence for nondual coaching.
Are you interested in nonduality but do you find it hard to confidently integrate it in your coaching practice? Then this coaching program will be something for you.
With regard to time, I assume that you, like my other coachees, are busy. You have plenty of responsibilities and regularly run out of time. Although this is called an intensive program, it’s optimally designed for busy people.
For the financial investment, there’ll be a one-time prepayment of 2.500 EU (excl. VAT). For this investment you will receive 10 weeks of high-quality 1:1 coaching consisting of 10 online meetings and access to support in-between our sessions.
The conversation with Youri Hermes is primarily focused on introductions. Perhaps you have some questions regarding the coaching. Let’s find out together if this coaching trajectory is suitable for you at this moment.
What sets this coaching trajectory apart is the focus on internal self-examination rather than external study of the mind. This makes the acquisition of psychological, philosophical or spiritual knowledge completely unnecessary.
During the free orientation meeting, we will explore whether a coaching trajectory is the right choice for you.
I found the guidance of Youri very valuable to see things more clearly through different perspectives! Youri's calmness and wisdom are comforting and very unique.
