How do you know if a spiritual teacher, therapist, coach, or healing practice is actually clear-or simply confirming your existing beliefs?
In this episode of Humans Decoded, Kiran Trace, Leela, and Cami explore the deeper meaning of discernment and why true clarity cannot come from fear, control, or the pain body. Together they unpack the difference between judgment and discernment, why we seek certainty instead of truth, and how authentic self-inquiry develops the capacity to recognize reality.
Whether you’re a wellness leader, coach, healer, or spiritual seeker, this conversation offers practical insights into navigating teachers, communities, AI, and your own inner landscape with greater honesty and awareness.
In this episode:
✨ What discernment really means
✨ Judgment vs discernment
✨ Why pain bodies seek certainty
✨ Recognizing clear spiritual teachers
