A prayerful chant is a type of religious or spiritual practice in which a phrase or set of words is repeated in order to focus the mind and create a sense of peace and calm. The term 'MANTRA' is derived from the Sanskrit language and is used to describe a phrase or sound that is repeated during meditation or prayer. Mantras are often used to help practitioners achieve a state of mindfulness and can be used to help bring about positive change in one's life.
