blowing air into a body cavity

xtcglossary.com

It has a narrowly defined set of medical uses, a somewhat vaguer set of religious uses (most notably within Christian liturgy), and an ill-defined set of magical and quasi-magical uses, descending at the extreme perhaps to undefinable gestures and nonce uses.
