Om is considered the universal sound, the primal sound from which the universe emanates. It is made up of three Sanskrit letters, aa, au and ma which make the sound Aum or Om. Some traditions consider the silence following to be the fourth sound.

Prana

the life source, breath

Pranayama

breath control, control and/or expansion of the breath or life force, for example: Dirgha Pranyama or Three-Part Yogic Breath. Pranayama is the fourth of the eight practices of yoga as proposed by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras.
