I think Guru Pathik is an energybender in a way. I just watched Appa's Lost Days, and I noticed a few things: 1) He could tell how Appa felt by placing his hand over what I'm guessing are Appa's chakras, and he seemed to see something that we can't. 2) He could sense where Aang was just by touching Appa and following the energy trail to Aang; the energy trail was visible in his mind, and went all the way to Ba Sing Se.

If Guru Pathik is an energybender, then Aang might have energybent before he knew about energybending. In The Swamp, he traced energy through the swamp to find Appa in much the same way that Guru Pathik found Aang, with the same visible trail of energy.
