I help them discover the answers they need in the comfort zone of their own moral parameters.”  “ As an Intuitive, Clairvoyant, Empathic, Reiki Master, Licensed Massage Therapist and Energy Healer, I am actually able to perceive blocked energy in a body and unplug it or release it. The body is a fluid, moving river of energy when itis healthy. When there is physical or emotional stress of any kind, it can get dammed up.

DANIEL PARMEGGIANI will be sharing unique insights from his new International BestSeller  The Magnificent Truths of Our Existence: Unlocking the deeper reality that guarantees permanent happiness. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, and moved to the United States when he was 12 years old. Growing up in a household traumatized by the violent death of his older brother, and caught between two radically different parental worldviews, young Daniel often felt guilty, isolated and depressed. Finally, at age 17, after failing to find relief in either religion or psychoanalysis, he experienced a profoundly cathartic vision of self-forgiveness and self-love. Feeling it was his responsibility to present this important spiritual message to the world in a 'real' and unpretentious way, Daniel decided to write his first book, The Magnificent Truths of Our Existence. Earlier in life, Daniel spent 10 years working successfully in the field of computer science. He then went on to become a day-trader in the stock market, which he continues very successfully to this day. He says this exciting but risky lifestyle is very spiritually purifying, as it has taught him how to live completely in the moment without material attachment. He currently lives in Pompano Beach, Florida, with his wife, Susan, and their dog, Chewy. Visit   http://www.magnificenttruths.com/ Connect with Deb at http://www.greenskyandbluegrass.com
