I am interested in activating the soma chakra (kechari) but am not really interested in cutting my tongue to get the desired results, I have heard that the kechari mantra is just as effective as the kechari mudra, any opinions on this?
If this is true this sounds like a much safer alternative for those who ayp solo, I would recommend a guru for the cutting method. It is said that 500,000 repetitions of the mantra awakens the kelchari chakra.
