InnSæi: Heal, Revive and Reset — Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir

InnSæi: heal, revive and reset with the Icelandic art of intuition by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir

InnSæi® (pronounced In-Sy-Eh) is inspired by the Icelandic word for intuition (innsæi), and carries three meanings that have guided me and my work with others for years: the sea within us, to see within, and to see from the inside out. InnSæi was brought to life in the international feature documentary film InnSæi: The Power of Intuition (2016), which was distributed worldwide on Netflix.

This book is a love letter, an ode to that magnificent, complex, endlessly fascinating world that exists within us all. It is based on the belief that the more we navigate life aligned with our InnSæi, the more we open up to the beautiful, generous world that lies outside us. For those who feel disoriented or disconnected from themselves in this fast-paced, noisy world, this book is for you. It is a way to heal, revive and reset the flow between your inner and outer world, so that they are in sync. When this happens, you find clarity, flow and deeper meaning.

Both the planet and the human race are now asking for a different, more humane and eco-centric, rather than ego-centric, compass to navigate our way into flourishing futures.

Given our immense power today to enhance or suppress life on Earth, I believe that connecting deeply with InnSæi will help us create and innovate more sustainably, lead our lives and work with greater clarity, and act with more courage and better judgement. In fact, research, science and practice confirm this. It will also help us move from living life on autopilot to living it fully — seeing deeper valleys and brighter colours, and bringing a sense of awe and wonder back into our lives, and the lives of others.

Drawing on a blend of ancient wisdom, science, philosophy and practical tools, this book invites readers to approach life in a more grounded, creative and mindful way.

InnSæi® is also a trademarked methodology and a practice we teach to help people align with and hone their intuition as part of cultivating our whole intelligence, in a world of AI and complex changes, where intuition is our defining difference and major navigation tool.

Your intuition is one of the most important – and least understood – aspects of your humanity. Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir’s breakthrough book, InnSæi, provides a deeper understanding of your intuition and how you can develop it than ever before. Its advice can change your life. In a world of AI, your intuition will be your defining difference.

Hrund has written a powerful book that is at once a song for the soul and a guide to everyday life. Her writing has a hypnotic rhythm that made me feel I was learning from the rhythm of the ocean currents. Her wisdom comes from the heart. I was drawn into the book and read it front to back in a single sitting. It nourished my soul, and I am confident it will nourish yours.

This book is meaningful, timely and has a message that must be told. In a world of increasing uncertainty, the intelligence of your intuition and inner scorecard is found in your own body. If matters of the human spirit have piqued your interest, this book sheds light on how and why you already have most of these answers.

The challenges we face in the wider world reflect a chronic neglect of our inner world and the understanding of how everything is interconnected. Profound and practical, deftly observed and beautifully written, Hrund shines a light on how, by becoming more alert to the experience of being, we can help create the peaceful, compassionate future we yearn for.

The world is hurting. Call it what you will, us versus them, liberal versus conservative, people versus planet, there is an epic battle being waged. How does one navigate this? InnSæi, the Icelandic word for intuition, provides a compass, grounding, and framework that each human being needs and is capable of without exception.

Intuition, she argues, is unconstrained, and in fundamental to both our capacity to reason well and to be capable of creation. InnSæi - the sea within - cannot be put into boxes: its nature is to flow. She brings us the voices of leading thinkers and practitioners from different disciplines and philosophies, who help us explore the InnSæi from a wide range of perspectives... In this way she guides the reader to a more holistic perception of the world, one where the colours come back to life, and in turn help regenerate our intelligence, our imagination and our soul.

InnSæi is both poetic and practical. A treasure trove of insights, illuminations and exercises that will help you think, feel and be differently. This book is a book for our times. For everyone and anyone who hasn't turned to stone.

Beautifully written. 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.

Hrund's book is truly a gift to the world. I am grateful to her for writing it. It's a practical guide on how to become your best self and lead with purpose and authenticity in an increasingly disorderly world.

A beautiful invitation to reconnect with the web of life that flows within and between every one of us.

InnSæi is the book – and the concept – that today’s world is yearning for.

The exercises didn’t just teach me to listen to my intuition, but taught me how to listen to my intuition again, and when to trust it.

InnSæi provides deep wisdom and practical guidelines for anyone who seeks to show authentic leadership in our world today.

This book is full of actionable wisdom: the earlier you read it, the longer it will be a source of warmth and inspiration that will stay with you for a lifetime.
