Get a rudraksha mala, preferable one with 108 beads. Set aside 30 minutes of quiet time each day, preferably the same time, when you can do your practice without distraction or interruption.
Set an Aasan or a mat. Sit straight. Take a deep breath through the nose, and repeat Om out loud three times. Om often spoken before sacred names and verses.
Hold your beads in your right hand, between the thumb and middle finger. If there is a large bead (sometimes called a guru bead or meru) or a tassel on your mala, begin with your fingers just to the left of this point.

Repeat your mantra out loud, slowly and clearly, while visualizing the form of the divine you have chosen to worship. After each repetition, move your finger and thumb forward one bead to the left. Chant loudly initially , then in your mind. Your mantra should be chanting in such a way that it starts resonating in itself.
Once the mind is effortlessly chanting the mantra, your intellect can dive deep into the meaning
You should reach the large bead (or tassel) after 108 repetitions. When you do so, it is traditional to turn the beads around and continue in the opposite direction rather than passing the large bead.
Now repeat your mantra silently 108 times, moving one bead at a time, as before.
Meditate for a few minutes. Do this by sitting quietly and envisioning your chosen form of the divine within your heart or at the point on your forehead between your eyes. If thoughts come, let them come, but realize that you are not your thoughts, and gently dismiss them. ๐๐ฟ✨
