InnSaei: Icelandic wisdom for turbulent times
What does it mean? How do you say it? Why does it relate to me?
Simply put, 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), and to see from the inside out (how we navigate the world). InnSaei exists within all of us.
We live in a world dominated by an overload of information, workplace burnout, big changes and the continuing effects of climate change. It's easy to feel lost, disconnected or without a purpose. If you relate to these feelings, then learning about InnSaei is the first step to reconnecting with yourself and the environment.
Hrund Gunnsteinsdottir 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.
With a mix of expert knowledge, practical exercises and some of the author's personal experiences, join Hrund as she takes us on a journey to harness our InnSaei so we may transform our lives and re-establish our place in the world.

Her documentary film InnSaei - the Sea Within (in North America entitled The Power of Intuition) in itself was a successful visionary and leadership project. In her thirties, with no experience of documentary film making, she wanted to reach as many people as possible who would start to talk about the world within for the first time, or in a fresh way. She and her small team managed to mobilize the support and create the momentum for it to become a reality and shown worldwide on Netflix and other streaming services.
