Sorry I can't help regarding your question, but I was just curious after reading your post.

I know this sounds really stupid, but does/can dhikr have that kind of effect? I ask because I don't have a shaykh, but I have been thinking about getting advice on how to do dhikr effectively without getting into a tariqah etc. I just feel at the moment that all my ibaadah (salah, dhikr,salawat, istighfar, qur'an) are devoid of any impact, because I don't have focus, prescence of heart etc. and it feels like I'm just going through the motions. So any recommendations in that regard will be much appreciated.

Muraqabah is very effective and does not necessitate taking bayah first. There's some good advice on how to do the Naqshbandi Muraqabah effectively in the following talk:

As with all forms of exercise adopted to improve a particular aspect of life, a set amount done puntually and with consistency delivers the best results.
