Discern for Yourself

I received a two-part message for someone yesterday related to discernment, which I believes applies to everyone.

First, for any intuitive message you receive, if you are not sure if it is for your highest and best (i.e., possibly from a negative entity) then you should ask (in your mind) three times.  If you get the same answer (intuitively) three times, you should be able to trust that it is for the best.  However, if you do not get the same answer three times, then you should question if you are getting information from a trusted source.  For example, if you feel compelled to stay home when you have plans to go out, ask in your mind if it is for the best that you stay home.  If you are not sure, ask three times.  If you get "yes" three times, then there is likely a reason that it is best for you to stay home that night.

The second part of the message was - getting psychic messages, channelling, mediumship, or energy healing, are learned skills like painting.  Just because someone has these skills, it does not mean that they are spiritual, have morals, or are virtuous.

Being discerning does not mean that you do not trust yourself or others, it just means that you listen your intuition, and question if you are not sure.  Practice listening to your intuition and meditating; especially if you receive psychic messages, meditate on where the information is coming from e.g., angels, guides, loved ones who crossed over etc, that will help you to also discern if information is coming from your higher self or someone/thing else.
