Welcome to Commune, a global wellness community and online course platform featuring some of the world's greatest teachers.

We are on a mission to inspire, heal, pass down wisdom, and bring the world closer together.

My name is Jeff Krasno.

Today's lesson is an excerpt from Reverend Michael Beckwith's commune course,

Meditations for Life's Challenges.

Michael is a globally renowned spiritual teacher and director of the Agape International Spiritual Center, a trans-denominational

multicultural community based in Los Angeles, California. A life is inevitably full of challenges,

but with a simple shift in perception, you can reframe life's trials and tribulations. Our challenges can be understood

as opportunities for growth, as springboards for abundance and prosperity. Today's lesson is about

opening your awareness to this field of abundance. In the second half of this lesson, you will be

guided through a meditation

that celebrates prosperity in others and plants the seed of prosperity within yourself. If you are

interested in learning more from Michael, you can sign up for a free five-day pass to his

commune course, Meditations for Life's Challenges, at onecommun.com slash challenges.

So without further delay, I present to you,. Blessings to you today.

This is day five.

And you have been following all these days with a greater understanding that life does have its challenges.

That there's challenges of loneliness, there's a challenge of loss, it's a challenge of fear. There's all

matter of challenges that we go through in the human condition. And as I've been reminding

you, we're not trying to avoid challenge. We don't want to live a challenge-free life. We're

aware that challenges have the evolutionary capacity to activate the latent gifts that are within us,

and they also have the capacity to shine the blind spots back to us.
