Is the chanting of the Holy Name always beneficial or only under certain rules?

Lord Caitanya, in His Sikshastaka, has given a very nice prayer for our benefit to help us understand this question:"O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names like Krishna and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your transcendental energies.
-There are not even hard and fast rules for chanting these names-. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to easily approach You by chanting Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I have no attraction for them." Sikshastaka 2
