Firebenders have the ability to collect energy from their surroundings and to partially control it. In the case of lightning, they separate the energies, which makes the energies "come pressing back together". And the moment they meet "you provide released and guidance" to lightning. (quotation marks used to symbolize quotes from Iroh teaching Zuko)
