Last week we began the Operation Positive Vibes (AKA-#hivevibes) Challenge. In the World, especially if you concentrate on the Mainstream Media there's enough negative coverage and fear being spread to overwhelm the whole of the Galaxy. It's up to us to create the necessary balance, so change can happen.

Positive Vibes, volunteering, coming together as a Community and practicing Mindfulness are what will move humanity forward in the right direction. Focusing on solutions, rather than knit-picking the problems is a great start. It's also a great way to spotlight Hive as the place that's part of the solution and finding them as well.

As they say,

You attract more flies with honey than with vinegar. ~ G. Torriano's(?)

What a perfect analogy to use as Hive's slogan. Do you agree?

Spreading #hivevibes comes in many forms. It is equally spread through giving as well as receiving. Whether you helped the elderly carry their groceries, simply lent your ear to someone needing to be listened to or express your respect and gratitude towards someone that taught you something meaningful, it all manifests positive energy out into the 'All'.

We ask that everyone on Hive dedicate an article each week or month calling attention to the positives happening around you, whatever their form. Natural Medicine will be curating #hivevibes content intermittently on a weekly or biweekly basis. After all, your health begins with a positive and happy mind.

This week we have a variety of content that radiates #hivevibes through poetry, insight, showing respect and volunteering time to help one another.

Let's start with a Hivian visiting and helping another Blockchain Brother improve his newly acquired land.

If you've heard of @makingstuff, you probably did so through his podcast(currently on hiatus) on the MSP Discord Server Meadows and Maker's. This inspiring human being is aspiring to become fully self-sustaining and loves to share his diy projects.

@johndoer123 details meeting @makingstuff with @koh and @evans-adventures, when they travelled to Alabama to meet and offer their time to help him with some improvements. They helped him build a cantilever gate and put a roof over the outdoor shower, but that's outshined by the meeting itself.

@johndoer123 brought us along through two articles. The first is the initial meeting, which is always the most special part of any voluntary interaction. The second details the projects they tackled with a tonne of photos to bring us right along with them during this perfect example of #hivevibes.

Pay them a visit and follow the adventure.

Many of you know @stortebeker, but did you know he was helping to build an Earthship? He is and has been for months alongside a tight-knit community. What a way to build, both a community and a dwelling.

He has brought us along on this journey for months, where the bonds and generosity show no bounds and teaches how all of humanity should work together. Don't take my word for it, visit the article then his profile and scroll back reading about the whole experience.

@madushanka shares with us the peaceful sanctuary of their garden, the importance of keeping our natural spaces clean, showing them respect and the importance of giving.

@madushanka says,

Sharing the crops in your backyard with your neighbors can help you develop goodwill. When you give a neighbor a papaya or some other fruit in your tree, you will see that it is good. This strengthens social communication.

and is spot on. Giving is natural medicine for both the giver and receiver. Please pay their article a visit and meditate to the beauty of the insight given and the beautiful space the author created.

The mind is perfect by creating a beautiful garden of your house.

@trucklife-family brings us along on her personal journeys and shares the insights her bonding with nature always inspires. Here she tells us how she appreciates the abundance the 'All' shares with us and is always humble in its presence.

These are the things that are important to me, the connection I have with the earth, the connection I feel with the cycles of the earth. Being aware that we too are cyclic and that we have so much to gain when we allow ourselves to become in sync with nature.

Enough said! Make sure to stop by, take a peek into her life and learn from her never ending respect for the natural world that nurtures her and her family. She's also hosting @movingman, lending him her space. The voluntary cooperation is inspiring both of them, which they share abundantly through Hive.

Reflections On Beltain - Festival Of Fertility and Unity

@denmarkguy takes us on another adventure where he too shares the insights inspired in him by nature and slowing down. He really raises the bar by showing the #hivevibes side of the quarantine when he says.

I have really enjoyed not going anywhere, and I have really enjoyed the absence of "commercial noise" and the absence of planes on the flight path to SeaTac... and I have enjoyed the fact that our entire neighborhood seems to have gotten to actually know each other better.

And he's right! Give his article a visit and share some of the positives you've experienced as well.

Quarantine Diaries: Human BEINGS, not Human DOINGS...

@karmadorje is new to Hive and recently graced us in the Natural Medicine Discord as well. He is full of wisdom, which he shares freely. Here he shares a powerfully poetic mantra that reminds us of how we are all interconnected and never truly alone.

{Excerpt}

This current situation, with the presence of this pandemic, allows us to evidence the interdependence of things, of people, everything is intertwined.

Become aware that you are not really isolated from anyone, the connection remains.

He then asks us to take a minute out of each day to just breathe, which many of us forget to do. Please take a minute to breathe while visiting this wonderful reminder.

We are inter-being

And finally let's meditate to the #hivevibes radiating through the poetry of @d-pend. He always shows great insight through his words and even graces us with original photos. I'll leave you with an excerpt that is truly a representation of #hivevibes.

In peaceful moments, no divisions show;
all is smooth without the need to know
the method and the madness of the days
we spend with one another, nor the ways
that loving must eternally abound—
in losing such illusions I am found.

I hope you all enjoyed this round-up of the #hivevibes and visit each of these author's content. Each of them will brighten our days and hopefully motivate us to spread the #hivevibes as well.

I'm quite amazed at how underutilized the tags #hivevibes #goodvibes #volunteering #positivevibes and #sharingabundance are and hope this changes in the near future.

Please share with us your #hivevibes experiences, which I(@notconvinced) hope will become a trending topic. I'm convinced this in itself will make Hive more attractive and motivate its growth. Do you agree?

Now I'd like to take the time to welcome some great new members of the Natural Medicine Community that took the time to introduce themselves in our Discord. Each of you are a great addition and we want to see all of you succeed on Hive.

@adityajainxds just published his Natural Medicine Intro, so please give it a visit and some love. I am @adityajainxds new member naturalmedicine
