Sacred Vision

One of the great loves of my life has always been music.

You can find my Hummingbird album on this website or on CD baby, iTunes,  amazon, and other retailers.

Some of you have requested that I post some of the music that I share at some of my workshops. I am now in the process of recording my second album, and it will include many beautiful ancient but new melodies and words. In the meantime, please enjoy…

Tukaymunaynioq

• all music composed, produced and recorded by Ed Coleman ( copyright 2003 all rights reserved)
• Ed Coleman -  Vocals, rattle

Note: This song is song in the ancient language of the Incas – Quechua. The enchantment melody (aka the Mariri) came to me one evening while I was holding healing space during my grandmothers passing. Eventually, the Quechua words latched onto the melody in the form of this Icaro. The Icaros are medicine songs sung by the Shamans and Curanderos of the Peruvian Amazon. I have had the honor of working with several of these Master teachers, and I found these enchanting melodies, stories, and songs to be most compelling.

These words in this Icaro  trace some of  my shamanic  journey of relationship with Self. Part of my shaman’s journey has been to map various territories of Self, in order to rediscover my human connection to wholeness.  Using the power of my own loving heart,  I trace a journey of creation deep into  the belly of the mother to  Moksha (freedom from the cycle  of  birth and death).

Along the way, I have  developed rich relationships with many archetypal pieces of myself,  including.

• the Serpent (aka hatun Amaru – or mother of the waters)
• the Rainbow Jaguar (aka chokochinchay – the seer beyond death)
• the Hummingbird (aka sewaquinte – the one on the epic journey)
• the Eagle or Condor (aka apuchina – the winged ones)
• the celestial (aka hatun chaska – the star beings)
• and eventually tukaymunaynioq – the highest fruition of unconditional love
