Vaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

found this on some forum a while ago....

“Couple of helpful hints which have been told by a few friends, I don’t imply using any/few/all of these, but these have been known to have helped. Feel free to add or delete any of them:

1) Basic Thumb Rule: Early to bed ~~ E arly to rise

2) Have a gap between dinner/supper and bedtime – fill the gap with a little walk – and at actual bedtime drink 2-3 cups of water

3) Use alarm clocks/radio/or cassette alarm (which shall play simran even while you are half awake)

Ok ok now the real tips for Naam jaap:

Forwarding you tips for Naam jap sent by a Gurmukh Rooh. Some found it useful, someone else may also…

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

Jap naam at amrit vela no matter what!!!!! Amrit vela is between 12:30 am and sunrise. Please note amrit vela is not effective unless the body is well rested.

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

Jap Naam at night before sleeping. It is very important to do this. Naam (at first) does the work of a cleanser (then it fills one with bliss). Cleansing the mind at night it extremely important. A clean mind sleeps more deeply and wakes up more alert. The precious amrit vela then is more effective, since much of the work has already been done at night and in sleep, since a naam-ed out mind will jap naam during sleep too!

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

Try to wake up without the alarm. This will only happen via persistant ardaas to the Guru.

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

Try to divide up the day. For example, wake up at amrit vela. Do simran and nitnem and then take a short nap before the day starts.

This prevents fatigue during the day. And psychologically, a tired body can wake up more easily if it knows it can go back to sleep. The morning nap should not exceed 1.5 hours. If it does, the body thinks it is night time and usually results in a dull day.

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

Keep some water besides the bed. (This has no spiritual significance, but it saves the trip to the kitchen during the precious amrit vela hours.

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

When the body first wakes, *immediately* say Waheguru with tongue or mind – depending on the individual’s naam state. Do not wait until ishnaan to jap naam. Do not wait to tie loosened dastar or keski or hair before japping naam. Sit up and without even drinking the water beside the bed, jap naam deeply. Only after a few seconds/minutes or hours when the mind is somewhat settled, venture out to do the necessary chores. (The misconception that naam cannout be japped without first doing ishnaan is, well, just that – a misconception. Naam *is* ishnaan!)

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

At first jap naam loudly, then with kirpa and practice, the naam can be japped softly or completely internally. The guru usually gives internal instructions or arranges meetings with naami gursikhs at appropriate time.

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

Divide up naam time. It is extremely hard to sit for three hours of naam during early stages, but it is possible to jap naam for three hours if it is done over breaks. Jap naam before ishnaan. Jap naam after ishnaan. Jap naam during lunch breaks. Jap naam during traffic jams. Jap naam when driving. Jap naam. Jap naam. Jap naam. Jap naam.

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

Mix gurmanter with mool manter.

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

If mind has wandered off, bring it back by reciting gurbaNi. Refrain from gossip and slander. This keeps the mind clean and it can more easily focus on naam. (The most common response to “Do not slander Bhai X jee” is “I am not slandering Bhai X Jee, I am just telling the truth.” A very practical defin

ition of slander is: the things that cannot be said in front of Bhai X jee are slander). For that reason avoid the company of the people who spend more time in slandering.

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

Avoid TV or movies of being a news junkie.

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

Just start simraning Waheguru ~~ Waheguru

Waheguru ~~ Waheguru"
