How does it translate in the way you execute technique ?

By each year, I find myself doing the techniques more and more on uke's intention and direction, and less on uke's body.
Simply put: I start by making my direction join that of uke (the
taisabaki step), and extend it, which allows me to redirect.
Also, I regard the technique as commencing already when uke takes aim. At that moment, I try to be "inside of" uke, to join with his or her intention already at its center. I would like to do the aikido techniques so that uke feels as if doing them to him- or herself.
