Innsaei (pronounced Inn-Sy-Eh) is an Icelandic word which, at its simplest level, means 'intuition'. There are deeper layers of meaning which help to explain the philosophy around it: the sea within, to see within and to see from the inside out. 'The sea within' implies the dynamic movement of the world within, which cannot be put into boxes or silos, because then it ceases to flow. 'To see within' means to know yourself well enough to be able to put yourself into other people's shoes and make connections that constantly regenerate you. And finally, 'to see from the inside out' implies a strong inner compass, that enables you to navigate and create your own path in the ever-changing ocean of life. This book follows a clear structure in which she explains each of these three strands and how they work together, offering the reader practical exercises such as grounding, gratitude, mindfulness and breathing.
'A beautiful invitation to reconnect with the web of life that flows within and between every one of us.' Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics
'The book perfectly captures how we need to rediscover the world around us and deepen our sense of belonging and connection to planet earth through simple but regular practices. A great read.' Tom Rivett-Carnac, Founding Partner, Global Optimism and Co-author of The Future We Choose
'Profound and practical, deftly observed and beautifully written.' Lindsay Levin, founder of Leaders' Quest and TED Countdown
What does it mean? How do you say it? Why does it relate to me?
InnSaei (pronounced 'in-sy-eh') is the Icelandic word for intuition. It means:
· the sea within (the flow of our unconscious mind)
· to see within (how we introspect)
· to see from the inside out (how we navigate the world).
InnSæi exists within all of us.
We live in a world where it's easy to feel lost, disconnected or without a purpose. Learning about InnSaei is the first step to reconnecting with yourself and the environment.
Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir explains how aligning with the sea within will help you to make more informed decisions and welcome creativity and wonder back into your life; learning to see within will improve your self-awareness, empathy and tolerance; and seeing from the inside out will empower you to make change around you and live a more fulfilled life.
