More Shivchay Haran on Shmiras Habris

Start Again from the Begining 
Rebbe Nachman was accustomed to start each time from the beginning. When he would occasionally fall from his spiritual level, he would not despair from this. Instead he would tell himself that he would restart from the beginning as if he had never started entering the service of Hashem, as if only now he was first starting. So too each and every time, his custom was to start from scratch. He would have a few starts in one day, sometimes even in a single day he would fall from his spiritual service and he would start from the beginning, even few times in a single day.
(Shivchay Haran - His Greatness 6)

Plead and Beseech With Prayers 
The main spiritual techniques through which Rebbe Nachman merited to what he merited was only through excessive prayers, petitions, pleadings, appeasements and requests that he was very accustomed to pray and plead in front of Hashem. He would appease and petition Hashem with numerous types of pleadings and requests that Hashem would merit him in His great mercy and bring him close to His service. The main thing that helped Rebbe Nachman were the prayers that he prayed in Yiddish. He was very accustomed to set aside for himself a place where no people were to be found and he he would converse with Hashem in his native language, Yiddish. He would appease and petition Hashem and would request and plead before Hashem with numerous arguments and reasonings how it was befitting to Hashem to bring him close to His service. Rebbe Nachman was very, very accustomed to doing this and spent months and years doing so.
(Shivchay Haran - His Greatness 10)

Main Thing is Hisbodedute
Aside from the many formalized prayers that Rebbe Nachman used to pray, the main thing were the prayers that he used to pray from himself. Meaning, his custom to speak from his heart in front of Hashem in Yiddish, where he would pray and argue in front of Hashem with many, many arguments, pleadings and requests, that he composed with his own mind and heart, as mentioned above that Hashem should merit his to His service. This was the main technique that helped Rebbe Nachman to reach the level that he reached. This we heard explicitly from his holy mouth.

Tzadik Yesod Olam - Rebbe Nachman of Breslov on Shmiras Habris

Shivchay Haran on Shmiras Habris

Rebbe Nachman's Practices Can Bring All Close to Hashem 
These practices [brought down in the books of Rebbe Nachman] are holy and precious practices that each and every person can use to come close to Hashem through these practices, as they are customs that are equivalent to all whether a person is big or small. Even the lowest Jew if he wishes to to have mercy on his life and to think about the everlasting purpose and then accustoms himself to go in these channels and paths that are mentioned here [in the books of Rebbe Nachman], will for sure merit the 'Next World' and will be able to reach very high and holy levels like those of high spiritual rank, if he is strong in his mind to hold onto his good path consistently, like a strong peg so he does not fall.
(Shivchay Haran Intro)

Sometimes Better to Hide Spiritual Levels 
Even though Rebbe Nachman was already holding on high spiritual levels, during his youth he would outwardly perform many childish actions.
(Shivchay Haran - His Greatness 2)

Serve Hashem Secretly
As he grew older Rebbe Nachman started entering the Service of Hashem. Yet all his spiritual worship was very very concealed, so much that not a single person knew about him at all since he was very hidden and concealed. All of his spiritual service was done very hiddenly and secretly.
(Shivchay Haran - His Greatness 5)

Serve Hashem With Simplicity
In the beginning the bulk of his spiritual service was with great simplicity and without any wisdom at all, just in complete simplicity.
(Shivchay Haran - His Greatness 5)

Serve Hashem With Great Effort and Strength 
Each and every thing he accomplished was with great effort, major dedication and self sacrifice. There was not a single spiritual practice that came to him easily. Rather each and every spiritual practice came to him only though tremendous effort, where he would strain himself time after time for each and every element of his spiritual service. He had countless ups and downs, thousands and tens of thousands, without count or number.

It was very hard and heavy upon Rebbe Nachman to begin entering the the Service of Hashem and to accept His yoke upon him. Often he would start for a few days, dedicating himself to the Service of Hashem and then he would fall from that. He would then get up and start again and then he would fall again. This repeated itself many times until one time he strengthened himself that he will remain strong in the Service of Hashem forever and he will not pay attention to anything that happens. From then and on his heart became strong in Hashem. Although even afterwards he constantly still had many - many ups and downs, yet from that point on he was strong that he would never stop his Service of Hashem, even though occasionally he has a descent, even then he will strengthen himself in his Service of Hashem to do whatever he could.

Become An Expert in Running and Returning

When a person wants to travel in the paths of Teshuva, he needs two expertise. He must be an expert in 'running' and 'returning', meaning in the elements of advancing and receding, which are the concepts mentioned in the verse "If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there." Meaning, it is not possible for a person to do Teshuva unless he is firm and strong in his mind, that he will constantly serve Hashem regardless if he is holding on a high level, relative to his stature where he is in a state 'advancing', in line with the concept of 'If I ascend up into heaven, You are there' or whether he falls from his level and is now holding on an extremely low small level, in the pits of hell, Heaven forbid. Despite this he must not let himself despair and instead should strengthen himself and grasp on to whatever service of Hashem he can at that point, in line with the concept of 'if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there'. Even in in the lower realms of Hell, Heaven forbid, even there Hashem exists and is willing to hold a person's hand, allowing him to come close to Him, even from there. When a person has these two expertise, then he goes in the paths of Teshuva and merits the Glory of Hashem and then Hashem's right hands is stretched to accept his repentance.

(Kitzur Likutay Moharan Hayashon Torah 6 Clause 6)

Learn Torah Although You Forget It

There is a parable about a person that studies torah and forgets it: A group of men were once hired to fill up barrels. However the barrels had holes in them and as much as the workers would pour in would end up spilling out. The foolish workers said "since everything ends up leaking out of the barrels, why should we work so hard to fill them, since afterwords it all spills out?" The wise worker on the other hand said, "What do I care, they are paying me by the day, and regardless they will not hold back my salary since I am already hired fro a certain amount of time, what difference does it make to me if it spills out of the barrels?" So too a person that forget what he learns, his compensation will also not be held back for each day he studied.

Also know, that in the future world they remind each person everything he studied, although he forgot it. Even people that hear the Torah of the True Tzadik and do not understand it, in the Next World they will understand it. This is because the main reason of Torah study is for the soul, so in the Next World the souls will be experts and grasp well the Torah that a person studied and heard in This World. Fortunate is a person who passes all his days immersed in much Torah study and service of Hashem.
(Sichos Haran 26)

The Benefit of Forgetfulness

Most people consider forgetfulness to be a big defect. In Rebbe Nachman's eyes forgetfulness has great benefits. If forgetfulness did not exist, it would be impossible to do any action in Avodas Hashem. If a person would remember everything that he passed through, he would be completely unable to pick himself up to do Avodas Hashem, no matter what. Additionally all the things that a person is currently dealing with would cause him great confusion. Now that forgetfulness exists, a person can forget all of this.

Rebbe Nachman himself used to act in the following way; everything that already occurred, he would consider over and completely finished. He would not allow it to enter his mind again at all, and did not confuse himself at all with previous events that already occurred and are now over.

This is a very great technique to use for serving Hashem. Very often a person experiences much confusion and great confoundment in his mind from events that took place in the past. This is especially true during times of prayer. While praying all his complexions regarding the past come to him, confounding and mix up his mind. Sometimes a person has confusions regarding his business dealings, daily life etc.., that he did not act properly regarding this and that, and he should have acted differently, or many similar perplexions.

There are also those that fall into confusion at the times they study and pray regarding the spiritual flaws they committed earlier, they are confounded with thoughts of how they acted improperly in front of Hashem, and many other variations of these thoughts, as is well know to each person. Therefore forgetfulness is a great method to prevent this. Immediately after something happened and is over, a person should remove and banish it from his mind completely, totally distracting his concentration from it and should not continue to think about it any more. Understand this technique well, since it is a very powerful method.

Kitzur Likutay Moharan on Shmiras Habris

No Existences Before Teshuva

Before a person does Teshuva he does not have any existence and it as if he does not exist in the world, since it would have been preferable that he had not been born rather then him being born. When he comes to purify himself and do Teshuva then he start to exist.

(Kitzur Likutay Moharan Hayashon Torah 6 Clause 3)

Teshuva Requires Extreme Patience

Teshuva requires patience. As the Sages wrote that a person who comes to do Teshuva is given help from above but first he is told to wait. Therefore when a person wants to do Teshuva, even though he has to hurry and flee for his very life to escape from the darkness, despite this he has to be extremely patient and proceed with great measure according to how he is instructed by the true Tzadik, since it is not possible to enter the realm of Holiness all at once.

(Kitzur Likutay Moharan Hayashon Torah 6 Clause 4)

Teshuva is Continuous

A person needs to constantly hold on to the attribute of Teshuva, since even at the time when a person is confessing and saying "I have sinned", even this he is not able to say with complete purity and without personal agendas. It comes out that he now has to do Teshuva for the first time he did Teshuva.
