Quotes:
“Here's what I want you to know: when you do things out of order, it is not only ineffective, but it can cause harm or damage.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:27:14]

“Your nervous system is your best friend that you didn't know that you had.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:29:30]

“The thing that every person on the planet wants, and they don't realize it, is something called your ventral vagal complex. Your ventral vagal complex is your state of regulation. And when we are regulated, we feel present, here, open, expanded.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:33:06]

“You are so unbroken. You are perfectly working, and your system knows exactly what to do and how to do the work. It just needs the conditions necessary for it to occur. And when that happens, life opens up in the most miraculous ways.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:40:38]
