I do this all the time! I have been looking into intuition for a while now. There are two camps of thought on the subject: one says that we are all interconnected and our mind is capable to tapping into universal knowledge which has no concept of time; the other insists that we regularly underestimate our mental capacity of our subconscious which picks up little clues and interprets the situation based on retained experiences producing a recommendation before our conscious is able to process it rationally. I think it's a combination of both. Different audiences react in a different way to the idea of universal knowledge and new age thinking. My advice would be to use your skills all the time, but be wise about disclosing your understanding of it.
