Hi, I stumbled on your question while reviewing this page. Even though I am not Sifu, I can perhaps answer you a bit. On this page, Shooting Arrows, Nourishing Kidneys and Pushing Mountains are said to be good for memory. However, as you know, Chinese medicine works holistically, so it is most important that you follow the 5 Phase routine (including Flowing Breeze Swaying Willow). (By the way, your problem might be related to Kidney Yin deficiency, for which you can consult a professional.) So in the spirit of Flowing Zen, it might be more important to regularly practice the 5PR, than to fixate blindly on finding the ‘perfect exercise’,–but by all means go ahead and try these three listed above, and feel free to add exercises that you like (I believe Turning Head might be useful too). Best

Hello. Thank you for answer. I need your advice again. I have serious memory problems, I can't memorize anything, I can't remember anything. Which of the 18 louhan moves would solve this problem, or which of the 18 louhan hands exercises is the most powerful memory enhancer?

Thanks.

Of course not! It’s a good start, but it’s not enough to get rid of all your health problems!

Hi Joshua,

A central part of my teaching is the importance of the Zen Mind. You can read more here: http://flowingzen.com/9544/the-number-1-mistake/

As for the differences between modern Yoga and Varma Kalai, I cannot say. That is not my area of expertise.

I believe he talking about punching with eyes wide, how you say there is a special breathing and sound that is coordinated with the movement.

That is probably the chanting he is “chanting” he is asking about.
