Harmony with nature

The universe is but a part of us. To realize this truth, one has harmonize the self with the universe and nature. The waves of the ocean is a natural phenomenon that is easily observable. There is something about the ocean waves - the sights and sounds that makes us feel at peace and harmony with nature. When we breathe and observe our breath, the sounds are similar to the sounds of the ocean waves. One way to realize harmony with nature is to synchronize our breathing patterns to the waves. Another is to enter the water at about knee deep, place our hands on the ground for support, and allow your body to be taken along with the waves. The only action we perform would be to balance the body. Then the actions would be governed by nature rather than by personal motive. This exercise tunes our actions to nature and conditions us for Karma yoga (performing actions without motive).
