No, i don't think kishimoto meant some sort of special energy here. Rather, our cells have chemical energy and our minds expend energy to think. I interpreted it as meaning that. Together, this forms into a magical chakra substance, something that has the properties of both. That is, it's both a real and physical thing (like chemical energy) and yet can be molded like thoughts (e.g. elemental and shape transformation, jutsu, etc).
