Samayik Vidhi in Jainism is the procedure or method to perform Samayik, which is a practice of attaining spiritual equanimity and inner peace by meditating on the soul and practicing self-discipline.

Samayik means "for a short while" or "for a fixed time," usually about 48 minutes. During this time, a Jain tries to be free from all kinds of sinful activities, thoughts, and emotions like anger, pride, deceit, and greed.

Purpose of Samayik:

• To calm the mind and bring focus on the soul.
• To practice forgiveness and non-violence.
• To develop detachment from worldly matters.
• To purify karmas and progress on the path of liberation.

Basic Steps of Samayik Vidhi:

1. Pratikraman (Repentance): Apologizing for any mistakes or harmful acts done knowingly or unknowingly.
2. Pratyakhyan (Renunciation): Resolving not to repeat such mistakes.
3. Samayik Karana (Equanimity): Sitting peacefully, meditating on the soul’s pure qualities, and avoiding all sinful activities.
4. Bhav (Contemplation): Reflecting on teachings like non-violence (Ahimsa), truth (Satya), and others.
5. Namaskar (Respect): Bowing down mentally or physically to the Tirthankaras (spiritual teachers).

Samayik can be done anywhere and anytime, and it helps in spiritual growth by creating a habit of self-control and harmlessness.

This practice is common among both Shvetambara and Digambara Jains, with minor variations in the procedure.
