What is ritualistic synchrony?

Ritualistic synchrony refers to the coordination of movements or actions among a group of individuals during a ritual or ceremony. This coordination often occurs in a repetitive and rhythmic manner and is believed to enhance the social bonding and sense of unity within the group. The synchronization of movements can also serve as a way to generate a feeling of shared focus or purpose, and can contribute to the perceived effectiveness of the ritual. Examples of rituals involving synchrony include dancing, chanting, or singing in unison.
