I've been reading and reflecting a lot about intuition and tapping and using one's intuitive powers and I ran across this post by Jack Canfield. I couldn't have written it better myself, so I share his thoughts with you in hope that you learn from his vast knowledge and experience. Cheers! ~Alex
Cultivating Intuition
By Jack Canfield
For most people, early education and training taught us to look out outside of ourselves for the answers to our questions. But we have the answers we need inside. Our unconscious mind is the source of our hidden genius.

Everyone has intuition. Successful people learn to develop this
muscle and follow their inner guidance. If you want to leverage your
innate wisdom to create greater success, you must learn to tap into your
intuition at will.
Recognize When Your Intuition Speaks
To be able to use your intuition, you must able to recognize when it
is speaking. Intuition is not loud and demanding. It is subtle and
appears differently for different people.
Some people receive messages as visions or images, which can appear in quick flashes or unfold slowly, like a movie. Your intuition might speak to you as a hunch, a thought or in words. You may even find that you are able to dialogue with your intuition to get more information and clarity.
You might notice physical sensations, such as goosebumps, discomfort in your gut, a feeling of relief or a sour taste in your mouth. Others experience intuitive messages through emotions, such as feelings of uneasiness or confusion when their intuition is trying to steer them away from something or, when the message is positive, feelings of euphoria and profound peace. Sometimes intuitive messages are simply a deep sense of knowing and certainty; if you’ve ever said “I felt it in my heart” or “I knew is in the depth of my soul,” chances are it was a message from your intuition.

Deepen Your Intuition
Although intuition is something everyone has, you must cultivate it to receive the maximum benefit. Here are 5 tips to help you access and use your intuiotion to greater effect.
• Use meditation to deepen your intuition.
Regular meditation will help you clear your mind of distractions, as
well as teach you how to better recognize the subtle impulses from
within. As you become more attuned to your inner world, you’ll be able
to more quickly and easily pick out the sound of your higher self or
higher power speaking to you through words, images and sensations.
• Make time to listen. Life is busy, and in the
rush to achieve our tasks and goals, it’s easy to forget to stop and
tune into our higher wisdom. Your most valuable wisdom comes through
when you are open to receiving it. Devote time every day – and even
multiple times each day – to consciously giving your intuition center
stage.
• Ask questions. Don’t be passive when communicating with your intuition. Step up and ask for answers to the questions you are struggling with.
• Write down your answers. Intuitive impressions
are subtle and can “evaporate” quickly. Neuroscience research indicates
that intuitive insights not captured within 37 seconds will likely never
be recalled again. Many people find journal writing to be a highly
effective way to access their intuition. Try it – you’ll be amazed at
the clarity of what comes through.
• Take immediate action. When you act on the
information you receive, you’ll find that you get more and more
intuitive impulses. After a while, you’ll be living in flow. Intuition
works best when we trust it. The more you demonstrate faith in your
intuition, the more you will see the results in your life.
Whether you want to make more money, make better decisions, solve problems more quickly, or create winning plans, tuning into your intuition will help you achieve your goals. Trusting your intuition is trusting yourself. The more you trust yourself, the more success you will have.
