Aikido Internal Work,
Internal body movement,
Send a line that emanates from your center point into your partner's body.
To "send" (流す) means using your own center point to push your partner's body, part by part, in stages.
It means performing, entirely within the body, the same kind of movement you'd use in everyday life to push something heavy.

Description:
In aikido practice, shizentai is our “natural body,” one of balanced uprightness which reveals our inherent capacity for unselfconscious responsiveness. Eihei Dogen speaks of zazen as “…the dharma gate of ease and joy.” As in zazen, in shizentai we find action in accord with our true nature.
Aikido Internal Work,
