I am not currently affiliated with any such schools in this lifetime, but I have had a habit of using "hand gestures" since I was a child, and I often used them in greetings. I still sometimes do it unconsciously.

Every time, I wondered why I was doing that, but suddenly, I had a fleeting vision of a past life where I was a monk.

It feels like it could be a past life that is just one before, but I also have memories that seem like "one past life before" that, so it's a bit ambiguous which one is closer, but if I am inheriting memories from both souls, then both could be considered "one past life before."

However, I don't have very specific memories. I wonder how it was...
I feel like I was active in the mountainous area of Kanto, but I also feel like I was moving from place to place.

When I researched, I found that there are several schools in Japan that use "hand gestures," and none of them seem particularly familiar, but I feel like it might be one of them.

I might visit temples on a trip sometime if I have the opportunity. I might get some inspiration.

I do have that habit of using "hand gestures," but I personally don't consider it something special.

Indeed, I think "hand gestures" can have a positive effect on the other person, but for me now, it's just a habit.

I'm not trying to assert anything about it.

I just want to remember the reason for the habit and confirm my roots.
However, it's not a strong desire; if I don't know, I don't know, and if I do, that's just lucky.
