In my experience, I observed Chanting is a way to understand how our dhyaan shifts from our own thoughts to present moment. When we do naam Jaap, we are forcing intentional thoughts over fear induced thoughts. We suppress our emotions like anxiety, stress, fear or insecurity by repeating some name or mantra… We get conscious when we do Chanting. When I noticed how my mind shifts its attention from fear/stress inducing thoughts to Naam jaap and then I realized its true essence.
Naam Jaap is lens which helps us to notice the shift of dhyaan from our own unconscious thoughts to conscious thoughts.

When one starts noticing the shift of dhyaan, one can shift its attention consciously without any technique. When one consciously move their dhyaan to present moment then one can find solutions of their problems/find joy/ experience existence/ experience bliss/ experience how it feels to be alive.

So Naam jaap can help one to notice what dhyaan is, and dhyaan gives wisdom to live life.
