Product Description This is a compelling blueprint for deep healing in the 21st century. Dr. Robin Kelly draws from current science and 30 years of experience in conventional medicine to show that our bodies are truly human antennae, bound together by connective tissue that acts as a conductor of information from the universe around us.
Highly recommendedNovember 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book explains, in an easy-to-read and entertaining style, how modern science and ancient wisdom can help us heal from real, everyday illnesses. Sacred geometry, holographic science linking our DNA with the chakras, and valuable practical exercises. Concepts that challenge our conditioned beliefs, and help open minds and hearts to the new consciousness. Highly recommended.
Chakras? Are you kidding me?!?October 19, 2008 0 out of 8 found this review helpful
I saw this book on the bookshelf of a local bookstore in the science section. The title and a very cursory read of the back cover description piqued my curiosity. I opened the book to several random locations and skimmed several paragraphs and those were talking about the molecular level communications going on. This interested me so I bought it. There was nothing to send up a red flag.
When I get home I sit down to read it and the first section that falls open talks about chakras. I am expecting a book on science, not a book on the occult. If you want to learn about chakras, the occult section of the bookstore is just filled with that kind of information. This book is filled with purely imaginary ideas and connections with those ideas.
Spiritually, Physically and Intuitively Enlightening!July 15, 2008 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Dr. Kelly gives us a first hand perspective of life through information that has been intellectually, intuitively and spiritually ubiquitous to us all along. This book offers exquisite insight into the spiritual realm of healing, NO FAITH REQUIRED! Dr. Kelly's book guides you along his own spiritual growth identifying how and why he has become a medical practitioner beyond the orthodox. This book is everything that I thought it was going to be, and more! While Dr. Kelly's profession is a healer/medical physician, and the book's premise is alternative medicine, I personally found the book spiritually enlightening! Subjects within the book I have now added to my own spiritual path and have had a myriad of my own intuitive insights validated.
For those that buy this book and are looking for validation from a professional on alternative medicine, this is a start. For centuries cultures around the world have been immersed in intuitive spiritual scripture of alternative medicine that has become derelict and repudiated by the Western trained physicians. By merely glancing at the industrialized, and severely impersonal, medical service that we receive in the West you will find how depredating it is on our physical and spiritual existence. Even with the excessive prescriptions we receive health is still in a sever decline and this is ironically the advent for more pharmaceutical "answers." Here in America, we are the most pharmaceutically induced nation in the world, and along with that, the most poor in health and spirituality-i.e., we have a lot of religions, and bigots from them. The precarious position we globally sit as the Western medical philosophy encompasses the world is that our health and spirit is in jeopardy. Albeit, maybe we can find a serendipitous outcome from the wrongs of the current "rights" of the health industry. This could very well cause a visceral shift towards a more spiritually holistic healing with prescriptions of organic properties and procedures. People around the world have finally realized that our health is the not the catalyst for all medicine, but initiated by profit. As a populous we are merely a physical incarnation of the stock market that are bought, sold and traded based on whims and penchants of the Pharmaceutical Industry. Unfortunately, we as the bought/sold/traded pay the dividends with our souls.
GET THIS BOOK!
Even though I have bestowed upon Dr. Kelly five stars there are a few things I emphatically disagree with him on:
1) Throughout the book he takes a few jabs at those who use hallucinogens or natural drugs (mushrooms, marijuana) to enhance their spiritual path. While I do not believe that you have to use these substances to procure spirituality I do believe they can definitely strengthen your grasp beyond the physical world. Now, by no means, am I advocating that you must use them for your spiritual path, but rather saying that there are those people past, present and future that have/do/will use them. Out of hallucinogens and natural drugs man has felt for eons more connected to the spirit and there have been some sort of drug used in nearly every ancient culture. Lastly, I will say that in no way am I saying that these things makes another individual more spiritual than another. More appropriately, I will just say that the tools of the trade vary amongst each individual's spiritual path.
2) I do not think those that oppose gay marriage, and the couples' ability to adopt children, have closed heart chakras. This is something that is odious and extremely unnatural. Children need a mother and a father, not two fathers or two mothers. If gays had the ability to naturally reproduce there would be no issue. This is not the same issue we have had with interracial marriage. Now, these individuals do not deserve abuse, and we should all be able to embrace them without aggression. As far as marriage and children, no. The only thing we open by accepting those things is the port for social degradation.
If you suffer from unexplained illness you must read this book.June 3, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Physician Robin Kelly could have simply accepted and practiced what he had learned in medical school, but his concern for his patients combined with a personal crisis brought about by what he ascribes to "thin-skinned human antennas" brought him a new perspective on the mind-body-spirit connection. It was from his perspectives of clinical practice and personal response to the stress of practice that he noticed what clinicians who take the time discern: physical illness and emotional upset are intertwined. Dr. Blake noticed how lung disease could reflect repressed grief and how heart diseases could have roots in blocked love and acceptance of self and writes, "Feelings...were closely aligned to being." He goes on to explain how you not only could fall more vulnerable to the toxicity of known diseases but also to the vast category of unexplained illness (chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia etc.) because "...those of us who are thin-skinned human antennas absorb a wide range of wavelengths and as a result our systems become overloaded." Mindful of the importance of science Dr. Kelly goes on to explain how he conceptualizes our antenna qualities. He informs us that his country New Zealand shares with Australia the highest incidence of male suicide; that in a land of beauty, education and opportunity, men end their lives prematurely. He says that isolation and meaninglessness are the reason for these deaths and so he begins to address the need for concordance in the song of our cells and ultimately a resonance with the universe. The Human Antenna is a wonderfully in-tune book filled with diagrams, explanations, stories and wisdom. I highly recommend it.

A must read for anyone with an enquiring mindFebruary 17, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As a practising holistic medical doctor this book connected the dots for me. Robin has an enormous wealth of knowledge, experience and sensitivity with an appealing literary style that transforms complex issues into tangible concepts. This book is for anyone with an interest in health, energetic phenomena and spirituality.
