As has been said the woo style states we are usually refering to are awesome when you are in them but essentially this style of pick-up is creating state junkies. Being a state junky is infinitely better than being a reactions junky, but still not where you want to be.

If you're new to this go out and get in state a few times, it'll give you valuable reference experiences. Just don't get addicted.

The quickest way to get in state is to just do something so stupid that your normal boundaries of pride and shame are smashed to pieces. Singing The Monkees at the top of your voice in the street for example. You can't do that and maintain your confining notions of pride and shame. When they are gone you are free and it's game on!
