I think it's improbably to solve this with meditation or healing;

meditation is about making the mind calm and relaxing, and to achieve something from it (like abridging to the spirit realm) it would actually require channeling Qi, which the subjects of Amon's technique are (or think to be) unable to do.

Healing restores a damaged part of someone; a pressured point isn't healable (as Katara proved on a couple of earth soldiers) because it isn't really wounded, just shut.

Bloodbending however makes sense; blood flows through nerves, a little, but it does, and so you could force those spots open, although only Katara is able to this, and she seems to have taught no-one (or maybe her daughter, Kay).

I think it's all a bluff; he's just being charismatic, but probably he's not this dangerous; this will eventually wear off, otherwise he would have done this much, much earlier, and much, much more - think of it, Amon doesn't seem like someone to brag about this power (if he had it) if he just had it, but if he had it for a longer while, you'd have heard about people getting abducted, losing their powers, then being returned.

We'll see xD
