The start of the menstrual cycle during nursing is an individual matter and there is nothing special to do to "start" it. As nursing frequency decreases, you leave longer gaps at night, or as the baby transitions to solid foods, prolactin levels in your body drop and menstruation naturally returns.
In some mothers this begins at 6-8 months, in others after 18 months. All of these are considered normal.
Reducing or stopping nursing to "speed up" menstruation is not recommended; breast milk is the best nutrition for your baby. The cycle's return depends on your body's own timing. If you have concerns about the process, consulting an obstetrician is best.
