Details: Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9789370039322 Publisher: Rupa Publications Age Range: Adult (16+) Overview: The Untethered Spirit: You Were Never Meant to Be Contained is a heartfelt self-help paperback from British writer and mindfulness teacher Yara Cresswell. Written for readers who feel boxed in by fear, routine, or other people's expectations, it blends warm, poetic storytelling with practical guidance for reconnecting to a freer, more authentic sense of self. Ideal for anyone facing a life transition or a quiet crisis of identity, this book offers a gentle but honest push toward living more openly and fearlessly. About the Book: In The Untethered Spirit, Yara Cresswell explores how many of us quietly lose touch with the fearless, curious version of ourselves we were as children, gradually replacing it with caution, obligation, and self-doubt. Drawing on her background in comparative religion, psychology, and contemplative practice, Cresswell writes with a voice that feels less like a lecture and more like a trusted friend sitting beside you. Each chapter unpacks a different layer of the "container" we build around ourselves — fear of judgement, the weight of should, the habit of shrinking to keep the peace — and offers reflective questions and simple exercises to loosen its grip. Rather than promising instant transformation, the book takes a steady, honest approach to emotional growth, acknowledging that reclaiming your spirit is a practice, not a single leap. Readers will find recurring themes of impermanence, presence, and self-compassion, alongside practical tools such as journaling prompts designed to surface long-buried fears and desires. The writing moves between lyrical, image-rich passages and clear, grounded advice, so the book never feels purely abstract or purely clinical. It sits comfortably alongside other mindfulness and inner-freedom titles, offering its own distinct voice for readers drawn to gentle, reflective non-fiction
