Chant theory

Chant theory suggests that the human voice can produce specific overtones and harmonics when spoken or sung in certain ways, creating a rich, resonant sound. Practitioners believe that through controlled vocalization—such as chanting or toning—they can access and influence subtle energetic states within the body and mind. This practice is often associated with meditative and spiritual traditions, aiming to promote relaxation, heightened awareness, and healing. While scientific understanding of chant theory is limited, it highlights how intentional vocalization can impact psychological and physiological well-being by engaging resonant frequencies and harmonic vibrations.
