This week we wrapped up the wonderful Alternative Consumer challenge and the contest entries absolutely rocked. I learned a lot - how about you? A new contest will be announced shortly that has my (@walkerland's) heart fluttering. I can't wait to read your stories! This week I am featuring two posts that highlight the strength of the @naturalmedicine community and demonstrate the types of things we can make happen.

In case you were wondering how we chose posts to be featured in these curations, we favour:
- original articles
- a blend of personal stories and facts/research (either anecdotal or otherwise) to engage the reader
good images or photos - novel or interesting approaches to self care through natural remedies
- content that makes us go aaaaaaaaahhhhh
If you'd like help making your posts pop, please let us know - we're here to help you succeed!

Natural Vision Correction
@samstonehill has put out a call to action to all those seeking ways to improve their eyesight naturally. To learn more read his post and keep your eye out for the tag #naturalvisioncorrection. You can also connect with others on this journey and chat with @samstonehill in the vision-recovery chat in the Natural Medicine Discord Chanel.
This Summer I am going to begin the process of eyesight correction so that I never need to wear glasses or contact lenses again. And no, I won't be doing it with laser surgery. I will be doing it the natural way which has, for many reasons, not found its way into the mainstream.


Group Meditation
@bewithbreath shared a post announcing group meditations accessible in the Natural Medicine discord channel on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Members from around the globe gather together in a virtual group meditation which is pretty cool right?! This is a welcoming and warm group for all levels of experience. They write:
we started SGM (Steemit Group Meditation) twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The group has now grown on to become a platform to encourage and support each other in meditation and to maintain a regular practice. As we know things can get in the way and our hectic schedule can prevent us from progressing to our inner journey of knowing ourselves. So, SGM will continue to give a nudge to the meditators and meditation enthusiasts to keep a regular practice.
Schedule
Wednesdays 8:30 to 9:30 pm London time (30 minute session) (8:30-8:40 pm check in & brief guidance, 8:40-9:10pm guided meditation and 9:10 to 9:30pm Q & A plus chitchat)
Saturdays 5:30 to 7:00pm London time (One hour session) (5:30-5:40pm check in & brief guidance, 5:40-6:40pm guided meditation and 6:40 to 7:00pm Q & A plus chitchat).
