The Aikido visualization exercise reminds me a bit of “follow-through” (such as in tennis): it’s weird how strongly the rest of your swing well after the ball has lost contact with your racquet affects its trajectory.
Oh cool! In aikido we’d call that “extending ki” (in contrast to “cutting ki”, where your “mind” stops at the point of contact and your “ki” (here roughly “followthrough”) abruptly halts).
