We've seen some STELLAR posts over the last week - both from Natural Medicine members and people we haven't met before.
We try to upvote and curate what we can, supporting Steemfolk in all kinds of ways from autovote trails to delegation of new members to upvoting and resteeming your posts.
Sometimes, we feel we need to go a little bit further - so we're trialing a new initiative. Each Wednesday, the Natural Medicine admin will have a little chat to see if they've spotted a post or a Steemian that might deserve a little boost, and if we have found a worthy one, we're going to reward it with SBI.
What Is SBI?
SBI, or Steem Basic Income, is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content. This means that you recieve a vote on your posts from SBI as long as you keep steeming!
How much SBI is on offer?
Depending on how cashed up we are, and how great your post is, we'll reward you with between 1 and 5 SBI. Sometimes, we might see fit to award 2 or more members with SBI - there's no real hard and fast rules here. It's completely arbitary, depending on how generous we're feeling, how much cash we've raised through the week, and how much you make us go - WOW!
Do I have to be a member?
No! Of course, we'd love you to join our Discord and delegate to Natural Medicine, as this enables us to offer great initiatives like this one or our fortnightly challenges were you can win Steem. We work hard for you guys, so if you're able to, we'd appreciate the support. However, this initiative is for all Steemians.
Do I have to use the #naturalmedicine tag?
We celebrate #naturalmedicine posts in a weekly curation. It's much easier for us to find you if you use this tag. However, we get that some Steemfolk might not know about it or forget to use the tag, and we're not going to get grumpy over that (yet!). If we stumbled across a brilliant natural medicine related post, we're going to reward it. Simple!
Do you want to be a sponsor of this initiative?
We are looking for sponsors to help keep this initiative going - we're a small account that needs support. If you'd like to donate SBI or steem to this challenge, either for a week or longer, we'll acknowledge you in the title and image of any Hump Day posts and acknowledge you in the curation too. You'd be helping support natural healing content on the steem blockchain.
Do I Have to Post on a Wednesday?
Absolutely NOT - in fact, please don't. As we'll publish the winners in a Wednesday post, we can direct more traffic toward your content. If you post on a Wednesday, but don't get rewarded until the following Wednesday, there will be less likelihood of benefit to you, so we won't reward it anyway.
Hump Day Posts
When we find a post worth celebrating, we'll publish a Hump Day post on a Wednesday. Hump Day is that day in the middle of the week when you're finding the working week a little tough, and it's nice to have something to cheer you up. We'll publish in the evening in Australia, so in the Northern Hemisphere you might wake up to a lovely 
Look out for this banner on YOUR post on Hump Day!

The Vedic conclusion – understanding the soul and Supersoul
Yesterday’s new moon was the thirtieth anniversary of my initiation into the “Gaudiaya Vaishnava sampradaya” or Vishnu lineage in 1989 at the age of 21. That is the Vedic lineage of spiritual teachers in the line of disciplic succession going back into the mists of time. I entered the monastic ashram and temple full time 18 months prior to that at the age of 19, and after the observation period, the older monks and masters saw that I was sincere, disciplined and dedicated, so I was officially initiated into the order, receiving a new Sanskrit name under the tutelage of a particular guru or teacher.
Congratulations on winning 2 SBI,
