Prana

Prana is a Sanskrit word that has many profound meanings. The word is composed of two parts - pra = foreword or before, and ana = breath. What is before breath? Life is before breath and is the cause of breath. One synonym of prana in Sanskrit is Ayur. Prana and Ayur also mean soul (Jiva) and are responsible to hold the soul into the body. Nothing can exist before prana.

Prana is the life force that vitalizes everything in the universe and all systems of natural medicine and healing are based upon an understanding of how to keep this life force in balance.
