You have to meditate so that you develop the habit to go within and tune in to your intuition. After this becomes a regular practice, then it is easy to access your intuition in everyday situations.
One of the most powerful methods to get your intuition working is to consciously slow down your breathing.
When we consciously lower the frequency of breaths per minute, we encourage great benefits. Normally, men breathe at a rate of 16-18 cycles per minute: women breathe at 18-20 cycles per minute.
