Aikido Internal Work,

Internal body move,
By using large body movements to activate internal body movements
it becomes possible to ultimately disrupt the opponent's internal balance using only small internal movements.

Aikido Internal Work,

The Body Power Line.
Much like the gentle forward push used to guide your partner backward,
this movement lightens your partner's body and shifts it laterally.

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.
