Simon mentioned the placebo-effect, Anders mentioned phantom-pain, others had other ideas , but I really don't believe my situation was a case of "wanting" something or deceiving myself, it just happened the way I told. The pain never was unbearable and I could easily live with it. Therefore I wasn't expecting anything or in a desperate (vulnerable) state, I felt "neutral" during the healing. I had the same comfortable feeling as during a few foot-reflex massages I had so far, where certain areas that are pressed in the foot will influence your bloodstream and give certain "sensations" in other areas of the body. None of that caused lasting effects for the better, just a very comfortable, pleasant and relaxed feeling that lasted for about a day. This is different, the pain is simply GONE and didn't return after a few days, it's simply as that. I'm sure the pressure points have something to do with what is already known for ages within Chinese accupuncture and it's about certain knots, nerve intersections, energy release etc.
It's fascinating to see how some people have the "gift" and others don't. Probably the frequency and intensity of someone's brain waves, the molecular body structure/arrangement and bio magnetism can make a certain canalization/flow of energy possible that actually does have a healing effect. No magic, but just physics/chemistry and energy in a way we still don't understand well. I ackowledge and am aware of the placebo-effect, but I'm leaving out "suggestion" on purpose, because, I repeat, I don't like to consider my case as such.
