Our defenses block access to our emotions, choking off our ability to get to our feeling. We need to lower our weapons.
Our defenses work by blocking access to our emotions, so they choke off our ability to get to our feelings. We’re going to need to lower our weapons… Every tear not shed is a block. Every protest not spoken sits like a lump in our throat, causing us to lash out inappropriately. These feelings feel like bottomless pits…
Feelings, which are moving energy currents, will change and transform as long as the energy is flowing. But freezing our feelings stops the movement and therefore stops life, making us feel lazy… When we stagnate, becoming lazy, passive and inert, we desire to do nothing. Often, we confuse this state with the natural, spiritual state of just being. But there’s a big difference… We have to feel the fear that’s underneath our laziness…
No matter how undesirable a feeling is, we compound our pain when we won’t feel it. And that secondary pain becomes twisted and unbearable… We must commit to going in and through, and not around. Humans, generally speaking, have a strong preference for going around…

When she first encountered the Pathwork teachings, she described the experience as “walking through the doorway of an AA fourth step and finding the whole library.”
Through Phoenesse, Jill writes and teaches about personal transformation using the spiritual psychology found in the Pathwork lectures.
Her books present these teachings in clear, accessible language to help readers apply them in everyday life. Her work focuses on helping people move from the struggles of duality toward the peace of inner unity.
