Wild Soul Medicine Radio w/ Jody England

I was off the grid and away from technology for several days over the weekend as I dropped into the simplicity of the county fair, the rhythms of loving my daughter, supporting her growth, and resting in our mutual passion for horses.

There is much to share about the lessons that presented themselves, and I had planned to do that on Wild Soul Medicine Radio this week.

But when I emerged from my sweet cocoon of myopathy, I was greeted with the turmoil of more violence, intense tragedy and conflict in and through the ranks.

I kept my distance from it at first, not desiring to create turbulence in my system where there wasn’t any.

I checked in here and there to read some posts and take the pulse of what was moving through.

I wondered if my White Privilege was obscuring my view and I checked in on what I might be avoiding.

And... it turns out I DID have something to say about all of this.

So I will.

Some highlights to listen for:
(05:20) Use Me, Goddess
(13:05) “The patriarchy projects, shames and admonishes: do this or else.”
(21:00) Letting Patriarchy off the Hook: Turning on Each Other
(33:00) Loving Our Haters
(33:40) “Sometimes we will need to fight and protest, and sometimes we will need to remind each other not to become the monster we’re fighting. Division is food for the hungry monster of patriarchy.”
(48:00) Goddess Includes
(49:20) Our Lives as the Prayer

Offering my perspective on this latest round of patriarchal death throes and the resultant kerfuffle among and between Us.

Should we be creating glamorous memes claiming our awareness of our White Privilege?

Writing scathing and angry letters to White Women to shake them [Us] out of their [Our] malaise and spiritual bypass?

Should we be organizing and embattling ourselves with protests and movements?

Do we need more personal responsibility or devotion to the collective?

Whose FAULT is all of this?

And how do we make them pay?

If you are fired up and looking for answers, Come.

If you are overwhelmed by the intensity and just want a break, Come.

If you are holding your own in the midst of the chaos, but curious about the something more… Come.

A Wild Soul Medicine Transmission on the ridiculously simple, heart of the Revolution remedy that might just be the Salvation we’ve been looking for.

I offer myself humbly as a delivery vehicle for the Goddess.

Bowing low to get myself as far out of the way as possible.

I’ve asked to Be Used in service of offering something constructive to this conversation.
We’ll See if Grace might show Her Self for Us.

I gratefully welcome your tattered hearts and bruised spirits to a place of Gentleness.

Come.

Let’s recharge and listen in for Our marching orders.

The We and the Me.

Lockstepping in Our own harmonious dance of Becoming.
Together.

Loving Us,
Jody

In the intensity of the brightness of the Lionsgate Portal, there is much to See.

Ancient karmic patterns, shadowy places in ourselves and others, the underbelly of life making itself known.

It’s a lot to Be With.

Just because we see something doesn’t mean we know how to become free of it.

Fear, suspicion, and paranoia holding us in illusory loops and spirals of stuckness.

Separated from our connection to Source, lost in stories of suffering and persecution.
When we are in these places it can be daunting to find our way out.

With the light blaring down and nowhere to hide, we can feel like a deer in the headlights.

Wanting to bolt or lash out, cry, crumble, or fight.

What to do when there seems to be no way out and the volume is up on 10?

On Wild Soul Medicine Radio today I’ll be Illuminating Grace.

Shining a light on the ways we separate ourselves from it and the failsafe tool you can use to Return to what’s True inside of any tricky illusion of separateness.

I am fresh from a long weekend in sacred space and looking forward to sharing the Awarenesses I’ve brought with me.

Join me today for some navigational tools to ride this wave of Becoming.

I look forward to Being with you.

Eeeeee!!!!
Who turned up the volume?
It is getting IN-tense around here.
I’ve been so in it, I thought maybe it was just me… but as I surfaced to see what’s happening in the world, I discovered there’s some shuh-zizzle going down.
A couple of retrogrades plus double eclipses lining up a corridor of Lion’s Gate energy has me feeling some serious pressure.
If you’ve been feeling like your life is moving at breakneck speed, taking the corners on two wheels while you white knuckle trying to Hold On to the tail of the comet - you’re not alone.
As we bring awareness to the cosmic rhythms we find ourselves inside of, we open to the opportunity to go more with The Flow.
Embracing the energy of the moment as we align with the Greater Order of all things, brings peace in the midst of otherwise chaotic-seeming experiences.
The word Eclipse derives from the Greek word “ekleipsis” which means “to leave, vanish, or abandon.”
The Lunar Eclipse on Monday invites us to open to the opportunity to move toward the places we’ve been white knuckling our evolution and surrender the parts of ourselves that no longer serve us.
Doing the unthinkable, the unimaginable, the outside the boxable.
This is the direction of our Liberation.
On Wild Soul Medicine Radio today we’re leaning in.
Where we are tempted to cringe or turn away, we will muster our courage and turn instead, Toward.
Gently, bravely we’ll lift the corner of the curtain and peek behind the illusion to see what is Calling Us.
Together we shall name the unnamable and invite more transparency with and for our Selves.
It’s possible I’ll have something to say about My Cough.
It feels really vulnerable to consider and I really DON’T want to do it.
An intensity sandwich that I’ve tried to hide for over a decade (despite having a weekly radio show where it often shows up wanting to be noticed…)
When it happens, I usually mute myself and try to minimize what is happening behind the microphone.
I haven’t wanted to burden you with it or be “unprofessional” in my dealing with it.
But this morning I got a memo that it might want to be seen and heard from today on the show and that makes me a little nauseous and a whole lot of “I don’t wanna.”
I make no promises.
It could go into hiding and then what would be the point?
Or I could chicken out and say some brilliant things that would take us in a completely other direction.
Or… I could have a total eclipse of the heart.
(That was one of my favorite songs as a young girl… Hmmm…)
However it goes down, I hope you’ll join me.
You may have some of your own secret “I don’t wanna’s” that could use a little Permission to go take a looksee.
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.
We’ll never be wrong together.

Karmic Reckoning.
Core Soul Medicine Path Reversals.
Galactic Upgrades and Downloads.
My trip to California was, um... productive to say the least.
I’m still foggy-headed and mid-integration (at best) with the shifts that have taken place.
I can feel the security-needing, ego part of my self that would prefer to be able to contain this expansion and control its sharing with the world.
And also the newly liberated Soul parts of me that are freshly meeting the outer edges of my Being.
The shattering of old identities still sparkling shards of brokenness around me, while newly healed and Returned pieces gain purchase in the emergent spaces.
I’ve learned some things about Containment in this latest round of Soul Alchemy.
The hidden places of holding it in, holding it together, shielding, protecting, controlling.
I fancied myself transparent and free.
An open book.
And I was. And I am.
And… as always, there is More.
On Wild Soul Medicine Radio today, I am coming in my intimate newness.
I am not sure the changes will translate.
But I am compelled to offer Who I Am - in this moment and all moments.
In these times, there isn’t room for anything less.
I invite you to join me if you are feeling tender, uncertain, or shy.
Turbulent or challenged, scattered or scared.
Let’s show up As We Are and share the Medicine of Wild Souls in process.
I will meet you there.

Goddess has been having her way with me this morning.

Hours and hours of transmission flowing through.

It is exciting, enlivening, and somewhat… terrifying?

Mysteries revealing themselves one after another. I feel like a lucky ticket holder at an epic pre-screening of the best movie of all time.

And on Wild Soul Medicine Radio today I’ll attempt to share some cohesive beginning of a beginning with you.

I’m certainly not the first to receive these Revelations and I’m decidedly not the only one who is delivering them.

But I am Willing.

To be Used by Life as a Whore for Wisdom and Light.

Embracing my darkness and the ignorance of the world as the Great Beast that I ride with compassion and curiosity.

Learning to Include the creeping, crawling, unspeakable parts of myself and others that have no other Home.

Standing in the midst of a modern day Tower of Babel where we’ve been struck dumb by an inability to speak and understand one another in the old ways.

Rife with chaos, outrage, misunderstanding, and projection, we find ourselves scattering to the far corners of the world where we hunker down with our Tribe and weave stories of Righteousness.

Pointing fingers at “the other” as we search for meaning and certainty in what “must be” Goddess’ plan for Us.

Today we go to Mystery School.

Opening to an examination of:
- Separation and Radical Inclusion
- Snowflakes
- Spiritual Ego
- and Political Correctness

We will offer ourselves humbly to the fires of Becoming once again.

I almost took this week off.

Many of us are out and about, enjoying the summer or taking an extended weekend to travel or vacation.

My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary yesterday and it feels good to pause and and create some space for Rest.

I’m with you.

And… as I opened my e-mail this morning for a quick scroll before signing off for the day, I came across a few things that spoke deeply to me.

They inspired me into speaking and acting.

Once I heard them, I knew I had to share them with you.

Whether you listen to them in real time or catch them when you are back from your Wanderings, these feel important.

Wild Soul Medicine for We Who Believe in Freedom.

"Liberty, freedom, and equality: these things don’t happen on their own or just because we declare that they will. They happen through a willingness to do the work. They happen through deep listening, amends making, and the intensive work of repair. Repairing the breach between who we say we are and who we actually are."
- Vania Kent

There is much to repair in the dissonance between who we say we are (or who we want to be) and who we actually are.

The road back is dark and full of shadows.

Truth is not always Self Evident.

Sometimes we can only set an intention to head in the direction of The Light and course correct as we go.

Following the breadcrumbs of Life As Medicine to gather our pieces and limp toward Home.

Join me for this episode, as we ponder our In(ter)-Dependence and the zombie apocalypse.

It’s a Wild Soul Medicine kind of day.

What do horses, hemp oil, MLM’s, and BDSM have to do with Wild Soul Medicine?

Everything.

Welcome to my tantric life.

The both/and, All and Everything three ring circus of wonderment, passion, emotion, and full spectrum Experience.

This week I’ve been surprised and delighted by a resurgence in my enthusiasm and creativity.

Was it sparked by a Divine Download of a Highly Spiritual Nature?

An Inspired Insight delivered during a Devoted Meditation?

Or a tarot card, medicine ceremony, or energetic healing?

Nope.

It came in the form of a multi level marketing opportunity, a return to a very old zone of excellence (and maybe genius?) and the most unexpected reversal of some major gear lock ups in my system.

I’m still laughing at the absurdity and Grace of it all.

I don’t want to ruin the surprise for you and I’m feeling a little coy today, so I’m just going to invite you to join me for some Wild Soul Medicine as we unpackage this Gift and see what’s in it for Us.

Here are some things I think we’ll cover:
• How Counter Cantering works for people and horses
• The importance of Left and Right Leads
• Unclumping our hips and shoulders to prepare for easier transitions
• The exhilaration of Flying Lead Changes

You don’t have to be a horse woman to drink this Medicine.

Come and have a laugh at my expense.

Really, this is just too funny not to Witness.

Here’s to taking ourselves a lot less seriously.

Happy Summer Solstice to our sisters in the Northern Hemisphere and Happy Winter Solstice to our sisters in the South.

As we celebrate the still point between the coming and going of the Light, we are invited into reflection and celebration.


It has been a big week for me.
I couraged up and mended things enough with my family to be able to go to my dad’s surgery on Friday.

With the inevitable twists and turns of hurt feelings, old wounds, and tensions running high - it could have gone down a lot of ways…

But somehow we managed to keep our hearts open enough to Be With each other and to allow both our Love and our Pain to co-exist.

I cleared a lot and I learned A LOT.

And my dad is doing miraculously well.

He’s actually being released from the hospital today - minus a third of each of his lungs.
Choosing to become this intimate with life makes my heart ache.

The Beautiful Suffering of the human condition at its best and worst.

It’s not just my family… everywhere, the breathtaking beauty of Creation alongside the painful ignorance and violence of suffering.

I am learning there is nothing to Make Sense Of.

Releasing the mind from trying to armor itself in logic and reason, or a plan to fix or support, change or resist.

But what is left without our defenses?

When the seed releases its hard shell of protection in favor of the vulnerability of growth, there is much peril.

Everything stacked against “success” and even evolution.

And yet… The Light dreams a dream of the seed’s Becoming.

The inevitability of Return activating the release of its hardened capsule in favor of the tender journey of New Life.

Wandering, struggling, pushing against the obstacles without reaching back for what has been cast away.

Only gently unfurling into What Is.

And Dancing there in the golden Re-Union of Soul-stice.

Join me on Wild Soul Medicine Radio this week as we bring the Soul to Solstice.

Some highlights to listen for:
(3:00) The Pulse Toward Reunion
(10:05) Staying Uncomfortably Open
(25:00) The Rejected Healer
(34:00) I Can’t Wake Them Up / Why Co-Exist?
(40:40) “Witnessing is a form of compassion.”
(48:00) Courage & the Soul-Stice Sprout

Honoring the Stillness of the Present.

As we soften to the Grace of It All.

Together.

It’s a tender time for me. 

As my outdated and distorted masculine structures continue to fall away I feel more vulnerable.

Undefended.

The world seems mean and harsh.

Not that people are out to get me or even intentionally treat me that way, but the dissonance of Unconsciousness and the violence of projections feel especially loud to me right now.

As a highly sensitive being, I’ve always been tuned into these things, but over the years I learned to defend myself by putting up walls and barriers to letting that in.

To letting people in.

In this current round of Medicine, I am being Returned to the form of me that came before.

Reversing the journey of the calcification of ego identity into the softer, Truer nature of Essence.

Morphing backward in a sort of second adolescence of awkwardness and self consciousness.

Unsure of how to allow my Kindness to exist in a world that doesn’t know how to honor it.

Wondering how to protect and serve my own Kindness without going back into defense.

The world isn’t going to change anytime soon.

And I sense that my ability to offer my Kindness in its radiant fullness is part of the Awakening Itself.

But how…

And what…

Will my Kindness be mistaken for weakness?

If I choose to move away from those who would harm me intentionally or unintentionally, am I bypassing my shadow or failing to Include It All?

Does everyone get to stand next to me, even if they keep hurting my heart or proving themselves unable to meet my Kindness with Kindness?

I am so curious about the Responsibility of Kindness and where that begins and ends.

On Wild Soul Medicine Radio this week we explored the intricacies of tenderness.

Opening to the Wisdom of the moment to See what is True and Real.



Some highlights to listen for:

(03:05) Who turned up the volume? 

(11:00) Hysterical Senators & Handmaid Protesters

(19:45) The Seduction of Walking Away

(28:00) All of my kindness / is taken for weakness

 (55:15) Infinite Inquiry



POTENT DOSE (if you only have a few minutes):



We continue to inquire into what is being asked of Us and how we might humble ourselves to the Divine Orchestration even further.

Gentling ourselves.

Together.

You know what they say about all work and no play.

BUT...

I’m supposed to be Creating something.

I’m Trying to figure out these next layers of block, baggage, and stuckness.

It’s Irresponsible to Have Fun while I NEED to make some money.

If I don’t do it, who will?

I’m so over it.

Over feeling like this, over getting nowhere, over staring into the abyss and being too scared to jump.

I’ve been eyeballing this Rubik’s cube of re-working my ability to Create from Pleasure.

Visiting and re-visiting the ends of the spectrum.

Noticing how I don’t want to give up my pleasure in order to Create, and I don’t know how to Create without moving out of pleasure.

And then, I began to contemplate the Both/And.

What if I can both Stay on Vacation AND Create?

What if I Create WHILE on Vacation?

(As for Clues that have been pointing to this [now obvious] Awareness, my nickname for my very chill husband is… Permanent Vacation.)

Oy vey.

And YAY.

For Realz.

So I declared myself On Vacation on Monday and by Monday afternoon had an inspired conversation with a friend and gave myself permission to only do it if it’s fun — and to in fact, Have Fun while doing it.

It sounds so easy now, but goodness, that was locked up in my system.

And guess what… my Creativity has SURGED.

I feel happy, free, and excited.

Not just about Creating, but about Everything.

And, I want to share this with you.

This Liberation and reconnection to your own Pleasure and Flow.

On Wild Soul Medicine Radio today I’ll be opening the lines to offer Insight into how your particular puzzle might be locked up and to See if we can Create some movement there for you.

I haven’t taken callers in awhile because I was hung up on the imperfections of the technology.

I’m not sure it will work seamlessly, but I’m cool with that.

Let’s give ourselves a break and show up to Play together.

What Have We Got To Lose?

Whether you are working or playing today, stop in for some Wild Soul Medicine as we search for a way to Include It All.
