The temporal lobes are involved with processing and producing rhythms.  Many Americans never learn about the concept of rhythm and how important it can be to healing and health.  Chanting, dancing and other forms of rhythmic movement can be healing.  Chanting is commonly used as a way to focus and open one's mind.  Chanting has a special rhythm that produces an almost trance-like quality, bringing peace and tranquility to the person.  In these states, the mind is more open to new experiences and learning.
