The spiritual is an aspect of ourselves that we don’t always acknowledge. It can be difficult to understand how our spirits interact with the world as we know it without taking the time to learn more about this plane of existence. Lydia Mitchell’s book, Spiritual Reality: Transforming the Ordinary into the Extraordinary, is a wonderful case study on how one can learn about, connect with, and exist alongside the spiritual energies that surround us. Without sounding like a hokey self-help book that is churned out for dollars only, this book is an introspective and sincere look at ourselves through a different or new lens.
This is not a textbook: it does not bore readers to tears with dry explanations and high-level examples. This is the honest story of a very educated woman and her own journey to discovering her spirituality. Written for readers at any phase of discovering their own spirituality, Mitchell does a great job at making this potentially uncomfortable and confusing topic honest and introspective. She uses her own experiences and allows readers to learn about herself as a person, as opposed to some nameless expert. This lends a degree of feasibility to discovering our own mysticism because if she can do it, so can we.
The chapters are helpfully titled and allow readers to focus on different aspects at a time. Mitchell has done her research and shares her sources of information with readers. Again, this helps in making the concept of spirituality more accessible to the layman. There is a helpful summary of the book at the end so if you need short reminders on what you learned and how to implement them, you do not have to search through the whole book if you don’t want to.
If you are looking for a gentle introduction to spirituality, a guide for how to connect your own soul to the spiritual plane, then Spiritual Reality: Transforming the Ordinary into the Extraordinary by Lydia Mitchell, PhD., is the book for you. It exposes the little ways in which the universe exists around us and allows readers to connect themselves to that same destiny. This is not a book full of nonsense or written specifically to sell. This is an honest, pure guide on how a single woman connected herself to the universe and how her experience can help you shape your own connection. Easy to read and wonderfully informative, you won’t regret this journey.

In this self help book, the author helps us develop a spiritual awareness which will enable us to see far more than the obvious. This new vision will transform the ordinary into something extraordinary, seeing the magic that surrounds us. By using simple methods, practical guidance and real-life stories, the author leads us to combine the spiritual and physical realities of life to create a new life that flows easily and is full of joy.
“Spiritual Reality: Transforming the Ordinary into the Extraordinary” is a book written by Lydia Anne Mitchell Ph. D. She has a unique understanding on the subtle energy that we cannot appreciate with our eyes. I like very much the author’s writing style because it is clear and the reading flows easily. Moreover, due to the length of the book, it is a perfect read to enjoy during the weekend.
It shows that the author knows what she is writing about because the book is precise and simple to understand. Written in the first person, the book reflects her way of living and this is very important because readers trust even more in what the author has to share. It has twelve chapters and each one has a title that summarizes its content: this is perfect to make a mental picture of what the read will be about. My favourite one is chapter number 10 - “Joy in serving” because it is focused on everything that we do with joy and love but also involves caring about ourselves.
All in all, this book is very well written and the reading is very enjoyable. After finishing it, I felt that my mind opened to things I have not seen before. For all the reasons mentioned, I am giving this book five out of five stars and I will thoroughly recommend reading it.

Spiritual Reality: Transforming the Ordinary to the Extraordinary by Dr. Lydia Anne Mitchell is a spiritual guide book. Mitchell writes this book in a detailed, personal viewpoint. This book focuses on how a person lives their life in various means. For instance, Mitchell teaches the reader about how to live life moment by moment. This section not only explains why one should live in the moment but also gives the reader suggestions on what to do to achieve this way of living. The book continues in that format, sometimes explaining why, but always giving some helpful hints to reach spiritualness.
This book is interesting. It seemed more along the lines of a self-help book in spirituality than anything else. I also found it strange that someone so rooted in science would be this invested in spirituality. It was a nice, surprising change.
I found it difficult to read the footnotes because they were at the end of the book. There was no way to link the book and get it linked to footnotes. As a result, you have to scroll back to read the footnotes and then scroll back to where you left off reading. Finally, I have such an issue with the idea that someone cannot love you or you cannot love someone else if they do not love themselves.
Overall, I liked the book. It had a lot of good nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout. I also liked the part that says we are magical. It was beautifully written. I think you should have an open mind approaching this book as well. It can help with the enjoyment of it, and you could learn something from Mitchell's writing. I would recommend this book to someone who likes to read books about spirituality or even likes to learn about others' philosophies.
