Have you done anything to develop your intuition?

OK, I guess thread would apply to any intuitive personality. But since I am INFJ, I decided to put it here. Is there anything you have done that enhances your intuition? Or do you notice things that seem to block it?

For me, I have noticed that if I during periods when I am more disciplined in meditating, my intuition is stronger.

Does masturbation count? lol, jk.
Meditation and lots of it. Although that is really strategic thinking/brainstorming for me, but yes, meditation.

I have discussed an experiment with a friend. We plan to repeatedly spend time together without speaking, to see if we will be able to pick up on each other's non-verbal cues. At some point, we thought, it might be possible for each of us to read the other's mind without even having to look for visual signals. We have only tried this on one occasion, and still haven't gotten to that point.

Anecdotes? Oooh can I throw one in?

A friend suggested some thought experiments, which were interesting. I've only tried them a few times, though.

You may, but only if one of the people involved is an INFJ, NephilimAzrael. Actually, please do it anyhow.

Yup he is. But its not my uncle.

So I was talking to some friends in a shopping centre, and was rather sleep deprived at the time. As I was phasing in and out of the conversation I hear one person ask where my INFJ accomplice is.

I remember turning my head towards them but instead of seeing a slack-jawed face staring back I am seeing a landscape and thinking "what the fuck"..

Well being synesthetic and all, my mind near explodes with colours and smells, I get a piercing headache and then I recognise the image.

It is the exterior of the shopping centre about 20yards from the entrance which was near where we as a group were situated. I hear my mate snapping his fingers and come to.

He repeats the question and makes a smart remark about my lack of focus. So while staring away at the wall behind him and phasing in/out of my sensory overload, I simply point at the door and count from 5 to 1 and then say, there. And then he was at the door.

True story.
