Kryon is a gentle, loving entity who is currently on the earth to help us move into the high energy of what we call our “new age.” Kryon’s words have changed lives and brought love and light into some of the darkest places of our inner being.

Michael’s quest is an emotional, humorous, awe-inspiring one that he could have scarcely imagined. Travel with Michael Thomas on his metaphysical journey home...it’s a wondrous and memorable trip that will stay with you always!
