Quotes:

• "You've heard me say before that if you want to communicate authentically and show up as the conscious, compassionate, mature adult you are, you need to be in the present moment. Well, if you don't have access to the felt sense of your experience and you bypass it and go straight to the thinking mind, when you go to the thinking mind without going through the felt sense of your body first, you leave the present moment." (05:34 | Alejandra Siroka) 

• "A wonderful way to connect to your felt sense and pay attention to your internal communication system is by asking yourself a question. And the question is, what am I sensing right now?" (7:17 | Alejandra Siroka) 

• "Paying attention to your felt sense. It will allow you to be able to communicate authentically as the conscious, compassionate, and mature adult you are." (14:37 | Alejandra Siroka)
