My Qi experience

He had been massaging my back, neck, and shoulders. He claimed the 'energy release' was what was affecting me. Thoughts?

Have someone rub the sides of your neck long enough, the effect is similer to nausea and will induce vomiting. I would say 99% of acupuncturists are frauds or mislead, and that's optimistic - they are easy to spot because they say you have "qi" (Ch'i). The real chinese concept of ch'i isn't nonsense, but it is a rare metabolic phenomena, and is only valid when dealing with these practitioners.

Ok. I'm not a doctor or anything even similar, so take my thoughts/questions for what they're worth.

Could dizziness, sleepiness and nausea felt after a massage simply be something akin to "overstimulation"? Stimulating blood flow to all other parts of the body removes some of the blood flow to the brain? Sort of similar to the mental state you get into after a big meal.

What about the mental stimulation of it all? I know it feels relaxing to us, but how does the brain interpret all that sensation? I mean, you've got (probably) a complete stranger doing strange things to your body, some of them kind of hurt, sometimes, and you're laying there partly undressed and vulnerable. Could our brain be getting confused a bit as to whether we're being attacked, sexually stimulated, or some other kind of sensation as yet unexperienced that causes us to experience symptoms similar to a mild case of shock?

I'm curious as to whether people who have had many massages and get them often experience the same kind of effects, or if they get used to it, so it doesn't affect them that way after a while.

Which then they chalk it up to "having good Qi"..

the reason for dizziness is like when you run and your dehydrated plus whatever you had that was poision in your body is now spreading makin your imune system go haywire after a massage you need to drink plenty of water a whole lot you eventually urinate the poision out of your body when someone does the chop motion on someones upperback and neck this will cause it also its bad to chop the neck
