Well, that is odd. I don't have any experience with the technique so I haven't got a clue. I know that biofeedback can be used to train certain kinds of somatic responses, but from what you've said there really isn't any training going on here. Certainly glad you're feeling better.
I had something of a similar response to acupuncture for pain in my neck, though I think I at least half believe in it. But my acupuncturist always talked to me each week and then spent a considerable amount of time getting the needles positioned, then left me alone for half an hour in a dimly lit room -- kind of a forced meditation. I actually did feel interesting nerve effects, but it didn't do more for pain than massage and relaxation have. But I liked being "take care of," which is where I got that idea. Somehow the ancient practice of laying on of hands seems palliative, if not curative. I bet the nurses on this board can speak to that aspect of healing, since in modern medicine it is mostly their hands that do the work of caring.
