Be Still: How to Heal and Grow

In “Be Still,” metaphysician and author Winslow Eliot explains why the experience of being still can help in every aspect of our human and spiritual development and she has developed a way to engage with stillness that anyone can use to heal and grow. It’s based on the premise that we can access stillness through the wisdom of the four elements, which correlate with our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. Through becoming physically still, mentally calm, emotionally flowing, and creatively fulfilled, we can discover who we truly are and what our life purpose is. The book is divided into three parts: “The Potential of Stillness,” “The Four Elements,” and “Beyond Stillness.” Many of us seek relief from stress, or we’re looking for a way to heal from past wounds. We long for freedom from suffering, or perhaps we’re wondering how to connect with our soul’s purpose. Stillness helps in all of this. Stillness is not a lack of outward motion: it’s a lack of inner turbulence. Being still is about being whole and well, and feeling serene and clear. With Eliot’s gentle, wise, practical guidance, we can experience stillness on our own, at any time, in every place.
