So how can we change our own emotional states?
Think of your states as operating a lot like a TV set. In order to have "bright, vivid color with incredible sound," you need to plug in and turn on. Turning on your physiology is like giving the set the electricity it needs to operate. If you don't have the juice, you'll have no picture, no sound, just a blank screen. Similarly, if you don't turn on by using your entire body, in other words, your physiology, you may indeed find yourself unable to spell "house".
Have you ever woken up and stumbled around, not able to think clearly or function until you moved around enough to get your blood flowing? Once the "static" has cleared, you're turned on, and the ideas begin to flow. If you're in the wrong state, you're not going to get any reception, even if you've got the right ideas.
Of course, once you're plugged in, you've got to be turned to the right channel to get what you really want. Mentally, you've got to focus on what empowers you. Whatever you focus on - whatever you tune in to- you will feel more intensely. So if you don't like what you're doing, maybe it's time to change the channel.
There are unlimited sensations, unlimited ways of looking at virtually anything in life. All of the sensations that you want are available all the time, and all you've got to do is to tune in to the right channel. There are two primary ways, then, to change your emotional state: by changing the way you use your physical body, or by changing your focus.
