Rational Frummie is giving you a watered down version of this segula:
Daven at approximately the same time at the Kotel for forty consecutive days (including Shabbos). In other words, 2 P.M. mincha or whatever. After davening, say at least 5 chapters of Tehillim, so that by the end of the 40 days you have completed the entire book of Tehillim at least once. Tehillim need to be said slowly and carefully because the Roshei Taivos and Sofei Taivos need to be correct. Each day after Tehillim, say one of the standard Nuschaos for requesting a Shidduch. It’s not a good idea to make up your own Nusach.
It goes without saying that you need to be making a normal Hishtadlus while you are doing this and afterwards for one year from the day you finish. (You are supposed to be answered within a year.) If you have access to a gadol who knows you well enough to tell you what you are doing wrong, this segula won’t work. It’s only going to work after you have exhausted all “normal” hishtadlus.
If you decide to use this segula, please post the results in this thread. Many people who are in a bad situation, look for segulos and are taken advantage of by shysters. Pulsing flower is trying to warn you about that. On the other hand, when we have done everything we can do, it is time to daven.
40 days at the Kotel is less of a “segula” and more of a trans formative experience. What you are really doing is asking Hashem to teach you what is important through the journey of those 40 days. The ideal time for doing this is from Rosh Chodesh Elul until Yom Kippur because it corresponds to Elul Zman. By learning during those 40 days, it means this journey can happen in a way that is all within Derech Hateva. Pulsing flower will be able to say that it would have happened anyways even without 40 days at the Kotel. This preserves the Bechira Chofshis which is very important.
May you be Zoche to build a Bayis Ne’man B’Yisroel.
