In real life religions it depends on who you ask. In fiction it also depends on the creator and the mechanics of the universe. It could be a method of using life force, a subset of life force that's different from other kinds, a energy completely separate from another pre established (or later established) life force, or the only kind of life force within said universe. Usually in a series with many types of battle energies its depicted as something like a life force for the physical body as opposed to a spiritual soul life force or something of the like. TL;DR it is if you want it to be.
