Gilda Grace and Dr. Alan Keck have retired from traditional practice.

 

We have appreciated the opportunity to serve the residents and communities of Central Florida, and are taking a ‘sabbatical’ to cook up other ways to contribute, including a book or two.

  • Allow your eyes to close gently.
  • Simply notice the natural rhythm of the breath.
  • When you notice your mind wandering, gently return your awareness to the breath.
