Please go to the healing article section of the main site, a much better version of this is there.
OK, so, now you know that you have an energy body, lets discus the ways it heals itself, and how you may aid the healing process.
In most cases your energy body is a quicker heal than your physical one, especially if you will it to be so. But willing it to be so consumes the energy you use for other techniques, so, especially in combat, you must find a balance between what must be healed now, and what can be allowed to heal in time.
But wounds, no matter what the size, will leak energy if left unchecked. You can will the energy in your body to stay in, to not leak out, since it is your energy. But unless you can have your energy body bear a constant restraint, you will find you must focus on it to keep it all in. A way to get around this is to cauterize the wound with intense heat, so it is sealed shut.
You will, in most cases, find that the energy body fills back in, not "healing" in the way your body does, in that you expend energy, and the parts that weren't damaged come together. That the energy pathways are the first to fill back in, followed by the less important filler. This is due to the need for the energy to pass through these areas, filling in what was lost.
Small cuts usually heal without incident, but larger wounds can be tricky. Large wounds can heal improperly, creating blockages, so you must be careful in filling them back in properly. I had you make that map of your energy body so you can refer to it if you ever have to heal back large portions of your energy body.
Sometimes, if the wound is deep enough, the surrounding energy body will collapse in itself. So, when dealing with limb damage, I would suggest wrapping it with an energy cast. Or if its in the torso, you should try filling it with a foam which will be fed upon as the body fills back in, and also stops energy from leaking out the wound.
There are certain areas of your energy body which are more important to carrying energy than the pathways, we will call them junctions. These junctions are like forks in the stream of energy pathways. They are harder to harm, but also harder to heal. They are crucial for energy manipulation, and if damaged to a point they no longer function, it is much harder to heal where their energy leads to.
This is just the basics of how the energy body heals
