How to Enhance Intuition
Call it a hunch or a feeling, but intuition is something that helps guide your way through life. We don't always pay attention to it or trust ourselves when it does occur to us, but pure intuitive thoughts can help you lead the life you are supposed to. Intuition happens to everyone and by following these steps you can learn to enhance yours.

1
Give yourself permission to explore your intuitive senses. Be aware of when an intuitive thought may come to you. Next time you have a decision to make, breathe deeply and focus on what your body and mind is trying to tell you. Ask yourself what your gut feeling--positive or negative--is about the answer and verify with yourself that it's not just wishful thinking.

Create a sacred space where you can be alone to reflect, uninterrupted. Choose to set the mood with candles and soft music if you'd like.

Journal any thoughts that come to you which strike you as intuitive. Review your notes as you go through the coming weeks and see what you may have been correct on. This builds your confidence to trust yourself more. Even images that come to mind when considering a question can be a "symbol" of an answer so note those as well.

4
Guess about things throughout each day and see how many times you're right. Have a friend pick a number between one and 50 and try to visualize the answer. Make guesses as to whether a man or woman will next walk through a door. When you do exercises of this type go with your first response and do not second guess yourself.

Connect with yourself on a regular basis. Meditate or create affirmations to say each morning that encourage you to trust yourself. Take time to notice your surroundings daily and enhance all of your senses.

6
Write down dreams when you remember them. When you're not paying attention during your waking day your subconscious may feed you information through dreams. Review these notes when making decisions and they may help you make sense of things or trigger a new intuitive thought.
