mantric
Like sacred chants
Mantric describes something resembling or relating to a mantra—a word or phrase repeated for spiritual effect or emphasis.
A mantric quality suggests rhythmic, incantatory repetition: Her mantric chanting filled the meditation hall.
The word extends to any repetitive verbal pattern, whether sacred or secular: His mantric insistence on "synergy" annoyed the whole team.
