Chanting
Chanting is the rhythmic and repetitive vocalization of words, phrases, or sounds, often in a group setting to create a hypnotic or unifying effect. In contemporary usage, it's not just confined to religious rituals but has evolved into tools for protest, meditation, and even corporate team-building exercises to foster focus and emotional resonance.
