What is the Tikkun Haklali?
The Tikkun Haklali is made up of 10 specific Psalms taken from the 150 chapters of King David's book of Psalms - Tehillim. Rebbe Nachman made it explicitly clear that when these specific 10 Psalms are recited in this specific order they have the power to arouse a complete rectification for damage caused by one's sins and transgressions - from the worst sin to the least. The 10 chapters are: 16, 32, 41, 42, 59, 77, 90, 105, 137 and 150 (and make sure you get them right).
(It must be made clear that there are 2 things in repentance - repentance and rectification. Rebbe Nachman's Tikkun rectifies the damage caused. Still, however a person must repent which, as the Rambam explains, means to stop redoing the transgression, to take upon oneself not to repeat it and especially to regret doing the evil act.)
Why recite the Tikkun HaKlali in Uman by Rebbe Nachman's grave?
Aside from revealing the Tikkun HaKlali, Rebbe Nachman took 2 witnesses - Reb Aharon Goldstein, the Rabbi of Breslov and Reb Naftali Hertz Weinberg of Nemerov - and stated quite clearly before them that anyone who comes to his graveside, gives there a coin in his memory (eg. "I give this charity for the sake of the Neshama of Rebbe Nachman, son of Feiga, may his merit protect us), recites there the Tikkun HaKlali, and takes upon themselves not to return to their folly, Rebbe Nachman will spread the breadth of Heaven to pull that person out of hell. This is a big promise, seeing especially our situation today.
Making a Shaliach (messenger) to recite the Tikkun HaKlali by Rebbe Nachman when one cannot make it there
Rabbi Mordekhai Halberstam - a Breslover Chassid who was also a rabbinical court judge in Sokolov, Poland - ruled that according to the strict letter of the law one can send a messenger on one's behalf to recite the Tikkun HaKlali by Rebbe Nachman's grave and get credit for this. This is not at all "instead" of going to Uman, but rather an "in-between" option which is much better than not going at all.
