The Magic and Mystery in the Ordinary

Magic and mystery do not live in magical lands, but in everyday life.

"The Magic and Mystery in the Ordinary" is a collection of thirty-two observational passages, inviting the reader on an adventure of simply noticing the intrigue and wonder right within, around, and beyond us.

Open the pages and your mind to step into vivid scenes of beauty and mystique, inner explorations of imagination and dreams, soulful journeys through longing and remembering, fairy tales long forgotten by the adult mind, and other discoveries of the extraordinary in the ordinary.

The opening passage:

(-)

Magic

Does not live in magical lands.

But in everyday life.

In corners we don't see.

At junctions we have to face.

On journeys to new places.

To meet people we have yet to know.

And it happens

When we

Simply

Allow.

This collection stands on its own. It also echoes the spirit of Dr. Nicole Lee's earlier works, "Seeing the Same Thing in a Different Light" and "The Wholeness of a Part", each asking what may happen when we simply look a little closer.

About Dr. Nicole Lee:

Dr. Nicole Lee is the founder of The Consciousness Centre in Singapore. A former physician and certified regression therapist, she spent fifteen years in medical practice across the full arc of human life before transitioning to support individuals navigating the deeper dimensions of healing and consciousness.

Alongside her writing and publishing work, she offers Recognition & Orientation sessions online worldwide for those who have lived through long phases of inner or healing work and sense they may be at a natural turning point from healing to living.

Through her years in medicine, therapeutic work, writing, mothering, and the rhythms of daily life, Nicole came to see that healing does not culminate in perfection or transcendence, but in balance and presence within living. Her attention has shifted from extracting meaning from suffering and healing to allowing meaning to arise naturally from living itself.

Her current work as an author, publisher, and Healing to Living Practitioner supports others in recognising and inhabiting what comes after a similar transition to the one she once lived through.

"The Magic and Mystery in the Ordinary" is her ninth book, and the fifth of the Lupint House books, works that invite the subconscious into conversation with the conscious mind.
