For this series, we will consider that all humans have at least two bodies : the physical body, and the astral or subtle body. Chakras are the invisible centers which interconnect these two bodies.

Tantric healing, like other oriental medical practices, and reiki, affects the subtle body in ways that are tied to, and immediately impact, physical symptoms. Applied successfully, it can achieve or sustain progress and healing of complex pathologies.

Emphasis on sustain : since spirit and physical matter are very tightly interwoven, therapy should be used on both fronts at once - however, the influence of spirit over matter is greater, whether noticed or not, it is *always* more important to tackle the issue at spirit level than at the sole physical level. All necessary physical measures should also be taken, yet, it is the chakra system which will make the success of a therapy against the most challenging pathologies, such as nervous lesions.

Recommended - a clean and balanced chakra system. Please refer to tutorials about the chakra system, and pranic breathing for details - pranic breathing is not necessary, but it may help.

Healing the self : small scars, bruises, burns..

1) Start by rooting yourself.

Eg. choose a comfortable posture. Standing, sitting, it does not matter - as long as your spine is as straight as is possible to you. 

This anchors your spirit body in the broader "pranic network" which underlies all things, and will allow you to tap into forces from outside, namely, prana provided by planet earth and nature as a whole, in order to perform the healing.

2) Relax and open up your chakras.

There are many approaches to opening one's chakras : gestures (mudras) can favor it, as is the case for me, mind alone can do it, this is personal to each individual. Once your chakra system has been cleaned for the first time, you will have explored what works or doesn't work for you. With your spine "rooted" and your chakras open, you will start to feel a flow of "tingles" - or any sensation which, to you, signals your chakras - from root to crown. In and of itself, this is soothing.

3) Direct the flow.

You can "pull" this flow and "push it" with your mind, giving it impulses. For example, visualizing the prana as a light moving to a specific part of your body. With little practice, you will get used to directing this flow to the wounded area. This will accelerate the natural healing of the mentioned area - tremendously.

I can heal, by myself, a flu in 15 minutes, a burn in a matter of seconds, a scar takes more time - about an hour. Specifically, I use this after a bad move in sports, as a complement to stretching, in order to avoid muscular problems and pains. I rarely experienced muscular pain since I started practicing tantric healing.

It is as simple as this for most pathologies : lesions, viral pathologies, infections - living tissues re-growth to an extent, and some more complex tissues such as teeth, all can be treated this way regardless of the origin of the pathology.

4) Release what you did not use.

It is good practice to touch the ground, a tree, a stone, after you are done with this to release the excess of "spirit matter" and return it to nature (as said before, excessive chakra activity is as much a hindrance as low chakra activity).
