Innsæi - the Icelandic word for Intuition.
It is one of those words we hear all the time - especially in the yoga world! But what is it really?
For me, it is that quiet knowing that arrives before all the noise. A knowing. A feeling. Often something that you can not put into words. It doesn’t always tell us what is easiest, but it often tells us what feels most true.
The tricky part is that most of us have become much better at listening to our thoughts than listening to our body - ourSelves. Our lives ask us to spend so much time in our heads. We analyse, organise, compare, plan. Somewhere along the way we stop noticing the body, with all it’s feelings and sensations.
Your body never stops talking. Your heart beats around 100,000 times every day. Your lungs expand and soften with every breath. Your muscles, joints and connective tissues are constantly responding to the world around you. Whether you notice it or not, your body is gathering information every moment.
This is where fascia becomes so fascinating. Fascia is the body’s connective tissue network, woven through everything. It is rich with sensory receptors that help us detect pressure, stretch, vibration, movement and balance. Long before we consciously think about what is happening, our nervous system is already receiving information from the body.
This is called interoception (our sense of what is happening inside us) and proprioception (our sense of where we are in space). These senses give us a constant stream of information about how we are responding to the world.
And maybe that’s where intuition begins.
Not as a voice from somewhere outside us, but as a conversation with the body we have forgotten how to listen to. The more time we spend moving with awareness, feeling instead of forcing, noticing instead of judging, the clearer that conversation can become. Learning how to dial into it, listen to it, and most importantly, act on it - your have a compass forming to navigate the world and life’s decisions, anchored from within.
For me, that is what fascia work is really about. Not becoming more flexible. Not chasing perfect movement. But becoming more YOU.
