Ki development

The following is an excerpt from  Kashiwaya Sensei's blog on KI

"Here is the progression in Ki:
Kininaru--“become ki”. First, just think “I am extending Ki,” - by using the feeling of Ki, you connect with something, and your perception of the object is changed.

Kiniiru--“become favorite”. Then, once the connection is made, you receive the ki from the object.
You mutually activate (kakki) and become greater than the sum of the parts.

Haki - “penetrating ki” - means to act without hesitation, and Genki(origin ki)--means to be genuinely cheerful and well connected with the origin. IF you feel that don't have Haki or Genki, that is the time to consider extend Ki, connect, change your perception, and receive ki from what is around you.

I like this progression, it seems to flow naturally somehow  familiar and attainable .
