The same way she lifts boulders from the ground and levitates them, before launching them forward without them touching her or the ground.

Probably something to do with feeling the rock via her Earthbending form/stance with firm contact to the ground. Is this a clear explanation? No. But it's similar to Waterbenders "feeling" the push and pull of the water, without touching it. I suppose.
