    2025/07/12
    In this soul-stirring episode of Women Awakening, Cynthia James is joined by Heather Eck, a multimedia abstract artist, writer, and intuitive healer whose unique gift—synesthesia—allows her to interpret people, places, and emotions through color. Heather doesn’t just see color—she feels it, translating emotional and energetic experiences into vibrant, expressive works of art. Guided by the chakra system and deeply rooted in spirituality, her paintings are more than visual pieces—they’re tools of transformation. Together, Cynthia and Heather explore:
    • What it’s like to live with synesthesia as an artist
    • How color can be a tool for emotional healing
    • The energetic language of the chakras and how it influences her creative process
    • The deep connections between color, consciousness, and the human experience
    • How to reconnect with your own intuitive gifts and inner wisdom
    Each canvas Heather creates becomes a sacred space for healing and reflection—where unseen energies take shape and where art becomes a bridge between the spiritual and the physical. Whether you're an artist, a spiritual seeker, or someone yearning for deeper connection, this episode will leave you inspired to see color—and healing—in a whole new way.
