[Avatar Legend of Korra] In book 2, episode 7, what kind of fire bending is that old lady doing ? Is is similar to how a water bender bends spirits?

Fire Benders are actually bending Chi to make fire.  Most bend their own directly into fire.  This old lady is somehow bending another person's chi directly and not making it fire.  It's more similar to water bender healing than it is to what they do to spirits.
