Kenosis is self-emptying. In Phrenology of Prayer, it compares this to Jesus Christ. "In its specifically Christian sense, incarnation involves the notion of kenosis, that is, of God in Christ
emptying himself and taking on the form of a slave." Jesus pored himself into the world for the sake of human sin. I think of kenosis as basically the ultimate act of humility, at least according to Christ. Emptying oneself according to hiking the AT for example consists of letting go of your former life, and taking on this journey with an open mind and clean slate.
