First of all, please, set the flair of this topic to Vajrayana, as this is not a common topic for all Buddhists. Just to keep things clear.
Now, you should be aware that the result of the successful practice leaves a hole inside your head. This hole is produced by movements of energies in your body, which are of non-material origin, but at the same time have a direct influence on our body - just like consciousness, which is intangible, but is clearly experienced.
Your scepticism comes from the misunderstanding of tantric practices of which Phowa originates from, as a part of Six Yogas of Naropa. Please, take your time and read this book by Jamgon Kongtrul: https://www.amazon.com/Treasury-Knowledge-Book-Part-Buddhist-ebook/dp/B001VNC92C/
It explains in great detail how Tantric practices work in Vajrayana and why the path of methods/energies plays such a huge part in it. Take your time and clear all your doubts about these practices and come back to Phowa. It's an extremely beneficial practice and it's a great fortune to meet something like this in your life.
