An open, nonjudgmental awareness befriends a problem instead of making an enemy of it. The homeopathic remedy builds on the transformational crisis, making of it an asset rather than a disaster to be averted or denied. It is embraced as an opportunity for learning, for reorganization. The homeopathic remedy, the flower essence, the well-placed acupuncture needle, or the psychotherapeutic insight lifts us over the bump in the road so we see it clearly, helps us regain our footing, and sets us on our path again, a bit farther along, a bit more aware.
