This is the correct procedure for the worship of Sandhya in the morning given by samavartaka

After cleaning the hands and legs and doing aachamanam twice, wearing darbha, and after performing pranayaamam, we should do the sankalpa that i am going to perform the worship of the morning sandhya.. and with the manthra aapo vaa idagm sarvam, we should smear our forehead with water, the devata, rishi and chandas for aapohishta manthra are water, sindhudweepa and gayatri, and with the full understanding of the triple r^ik one should sprinkle water on the head seven times, legs on the eighth time and head on the ninth time with manthra aapohista mayo bhuavaH etc. for the manthra suuryashca maa ..the rishi is agni, chandas is gayatri and suurya is devata.. remembering them and knowing the meaning of this manthre, it should be applied for the special aachamanam suuryashcha maa manyushcha etc manthra and keeping water to the extent of summerging a green gram, and should drink the water after chanting the manthra. Then remembering the rishi chandas and devata of the mantra Dhadikravnno akarisham... vamadeva rishi, anushtup chandas, vieshwedeva and dahikraa are the gods for this mantra and it is used for cleaning oneself befor arghya.. the procedure of sprinkiling water same as aapohista.. yasya kshayaya.. alone to sprinkle the legs and others sprinkling the head.. After this the rishi chandas and devaat for Gayatri have to be remembered and meditating upon the meaning of Gayatri, one should fill the palm with water thrice and pour water on the ground thriece. Then after aachamanam, one should take water on the right hand and with sprinkling water should take the hand around oneself in clockwise direction and touching heart should remember, this supreme soul is aaditya, it is me and it is truth and brahma is truth and I am that brahman. Then again aachamanam. Praayaschittharghyam is not given here because originally there is no provision for delay. Then one should do the tarpanm for the planets etc according to their respective aacharaas. Smarthas and vaishnavaas do tarpanam forK esava etc, but shaivaites do that for Lord Shiva
At present we do not use dharbha for sandhya, and usually the rishis chandas devata etc for the manthras are not mentioned. The aachamana manthras will change for Maadhyaahnikam and Saayam Sandhya. The meanings of prokshana manthras and aachamana manthrs have to be taken up separately. The usual aachamanm with fingering rules have also to be dealt with separately.
