Be Still
How to Heal and Grow
(Writespa Press 2019)

Why would you want to become still? Perhaps to heal from past wounds or enjoy freedom from suffering? Perhaps to find peace from stress? Or are you wondering how to connect with your soul’s purpose? Be Still shows you how you can experience stillness on your own, at any time, in every place. I’ve 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 audio version is now available–read by the author. 

I’m delighted and honored to announce that The Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2020-21 selected Be Still as a finalist in their New Age category.

An eclectic combination of philosophy, psychology, and spirituality with a strong emphasis on metaphysics, this approach is intriguing and far-reaching. The goal is to open the deepest recesses of the mind to a gentle healing process, encouraged subliminally in stillness. Conversational and candid, this book is a worthwhile contribution to the genre … This sincere narrative has crossed cultural barriers to calm troubled souls seeking answers to complex problems. Beneficial to anyone who has experienced insufficient relief using traditional methods to resolve psychological setbacks, this book is a journey to the inner self.” Critic’s Report – The BookLife Prize

“Touching every aspect of life, Be Still gives you a grounded, scientific, spiritual and practical approach to living with stillness. It is through stillness that we discover our highest potential, lighting the way back to our true essence.” –Annabel O’Neill, Forest Therapy Guide; Soul Level Astrologer

HEAVEN FALLS
(Telemachus Press 2010)

“Winslow Eliot’s writing style…is a mixture of: part Mary Higgins Clark, in that both authors weave a web of intrigue within their spellbinding thrillers; part Virginia Woolf, in sentence structure and character development; with a dash of Danielle Steel, delving into the dregs of human nature. I highly recommend it.” Dee Marie, author of Sons of Avalon series.

PURSUED
(Telemachus Press 2012)

“It’s a colorful, exotic, danger-filled adventure that bristles with scientific and alchemical speculation, a thriller that makes you sensitive to the sound of a computer in a dark room–and then its absence. It skips like a stone to Malibu, Milan, Sydney, Varese…an optimistic book. Awe and wonder are with us throughout.” Robert MacLean, author of The President’s Palm Reader, the Toby Series, Greek Island Murder, and others.
