Rikka is a facilitator of Access Consciousness, a set of tools to literally transform anything in anyone’s life and is acclaimed internationally for this work.

Access Consciousness is a set of tools & processes that actually work to change anything that is not working for you in your life. Access is based on the question, it's about empowering you to know what YOU know. So that YOU can have the life you truly desire. What if you're the creator of your life? And if you're the creator, can you change any part of it? What we do in class is ask you questions to uncover the places where you've limited yourself, and then change the energy so that those limitations no longer run your life. This allows you to be the cause of your life instead of at the effect of the world around you. The most talented and amazing beings feel the most effected by the world around them. If you were conscious of your capacities does it make sense that they would be easy have? You're far more talented then you've ever allowed yourself to know. Would you like to find out just how phenomenal you really are and tools to allow you to have your talents with ease?

Learn about what traditional therapy doesn't address. Learn about belief patterns that you may be holding in your past lives and DNA as well as karmic contracts, energetic marriages, and oaths and vows you may have agreed to that may be keeping you from moving forward in your life.

A couple of participants may have the opportunity to have Shaunna demonstrate a clearing of an energetic marriage or karmic contract. Shaunna will also guide you in checking to see whether you are missing some important beliefs and feelings that may be missing which may be keeping you stuck in life.

Join DR. GUAN-CHENG SUN, the creator of Yi Ren® Qigong, founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Qigong for an evening of experiencing the subtle life current that connects all things. Yi Ren® Qigong is the practice of cultivating our inherent potential and well-being through a growing awareness of "Qi". The specific practices taught by Dr. Sun are designed to support an individual in the exploration and expression of the intelligence and wisdom already within the body.

Yi Ren® Qigong (YRQ), developed by Guan-Cheng Sun, PhD, works through a growing awareness and enhancement of the “Qi” within us, as well as surrounding us, allowing for both the prevention and the healing of chronic illness, and for generally improving the quality of practitioners’ lives. The fundamental YRQ practice is the activation, cultivation, balance and circulation of Qi. This enhanced state of Qi is initiated and then reinforced and maintained by regular disciplined practice, and involves relaxation, awareness, attention, visualization/guided imagery, and intention combined with breathing, meditation, and gentle movement. All of the Yi Ren Qigong exercises are pursued with a heightened sense of feeling, focus and awareness. This state of being present, alert and aware of the Qi in turn plays an important role in healing and self-development. Qi is bio-energy in its different subtle forms, such as electricity or magnetic force or far-infrared radiation, etc. These forms of subtle energies function through an energy network (EOS) in the body for coherent communications between the body’s organs, tissues, cells and genes. These energies and the enhanced internal communications they enable create links for healing and rebalancing the internal environment. And in similar fashion, these energies also create new links or levels of awareness between the mind and the body, as well as between the body and one’s living environment.

Guiding Principles of Yi Ren Qigong Practice

Guiding Principle #1: Empower the Potential Life Force and the Healing Power Within– The body has the inherent power and ability to establish, maintain, and restore its health. Yi Ren Qigong practices provide tools to assist individuals in empowering and activating the deeper layers of inherent life force, facilitating the healing process and health recovery, as well as in achieving self-mastery and self-fulfillment.

Guiding Principle #2: Improve Balance and Harmony Within and Without – Good health exists when the internal body is balanced and harmonized and its Qiis flowing freely. Yi Ren Qigong is a mind-body integrative practice which works with a growing awareness and enhancement of Qi within the body as well as surrounding the body. Yi Ren Qigong practice promotes internal and external energy interactions and improves balance and harmony between the internal organs as well as between the body and mind. The harmonious functioning of all aspects of the individual is essential to recovery from disease and advanced personal growth and development.

Guiding Principle #3: Enhance the Strength and Ability of the Body, not of Disease – Illness weakens the body and can create the conditions for the body to continue losing energy to disease. Yi Ren Qigong practice facilitates and supports health and quality of life; is does not promote disease.

Guiding Principle #4: Assist Individuals to Identify and Treat the Cause and Root of Their Health Condition – Illness does not occur without cause. Symptoms are signals and expressions of the body’s communications, but they are not the causes of disease. Causes may occur on many levels including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. To accurately identify and treat the cause and root of disease with Yi Ren Qigong specific practice can help individuals completely recover from illness.

Qigong is gentle and can be performed anywhere. It does not require special clothing or equipment, making it feasible for those with physical limitations.

He earned his PhD in molecular genetics from the Graduate University of Advanced Studies in Japan in 1993, and was awarded a fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. From 1994-1997 Dr. Sun conducted postdoctoral research in molecular endocrinology at the University of Washington. This research enriched his theory and practice of Qigong.
