- I suspect that it *is* some sort of physical influence. I've
- (unsuccessfully) tried the relaxing technique and found it *very*
- important to get the position right. In theory, no point of your body
- should have anything impacting it more than any other point. For
- example, it is impossible to do with your legs crossed.
-
- Furthermore, it is known that in some cases certain nerves can go
- berserk and induce feelings that aren't really there. That explains
- why it is always the same one. Not really a physical problem but can
- be annoying, especially when you have no other physical influence to
- that nerve.
