To avert Chibut hakever ("Purgatory of the grave") [1] recite words of Torah, Tehillim, etc., for one sixth of the day. [2] To merit purity of the soul that obviates Kaf Hakela ("the hollow of a sling"), [3] spend as much of the day as possible in reciting Mishna, Tanya and Tehillim by heart.
Notes:
Tanya p. 29 and p. 33. This and Kaf Hakela (below) are processes of purgatory undergone by the soul after death.
Namely, four hours.
