Reindeer Breath
Carried by the nomadic peoples of the Arctic Circle for thousands of years, the Reindeer Breath is one of humanity's oldest tools for trance, healing, and altered states. Now Snow Raven — Indigenous Sakha singer and artist — teaches it online for the first time.
The reindeer can survive minus 96° Fahrenheit. When running across vast distances of tundra, it conserves energy with a distinctive rhythmic breath. The Evenk, Even, Chukchi, Yukagir, and other Arctic peoples heard it — and made it their own. From that imitation emerged a technique that governs inhale and exhale simultaneously, generating an unbroken rhythmic vibration that carries practitioners into trance, meditation, and transcendental states — used by First Nations peoples as both a competition song and a lullaby, rocking babies to sleep with the rhythm of the land.
