Wow, so many good posts here! I'll give my thoughts that started popping in after I read the OP. I have been lazy all my life, and it has gotten worse now. No surprise that this colors my thinking. 
I think that if you want to get into healing, then clarify your intent and will, and meditate (i.e. quiet the mind to be receptive). After awhile, your perception of other selves needing healing will improve, and your perception of yourself will provide guidance in doing "more of what works and less of what doesn't." Nothing wrong at all with considering the chakras, but they will come around, IMHO, with well-focused intent and all the blessings that come from meditation.
I hope this helps.
