S p i r i t ua l i t y S t u d i e s 7 - 2 Fa l l 2 0 2 1 3 Monique Rebelle 1 Introduction I was born in Poland. Although being grown up in a catholic country, I had no religious affiliation, nor interest in having one. On the other hand, I had a curiosity about life and desire to know the truth. I left Poland on my own as a teenager with an idea of finding the truth through art. When my spontaneous experience happened, I was thirty five – a mother living unhappily without her child, a “starving artist” on a shoestring budget, renting a dusty attic in a not-that-great part of Los Angeles. By then, I had a history of unusual experiences, psychic premonitions, telling dreams, powerful insights and inspirations, and intense emotions.

At some point of my journey, after years of struggle, months of depression and at the verge of suicide, I went through an experience I had no previous idea existed. I hadn’t even known the word Kundalinī before, I hadn’t believed in chakras, and I had only a vague idea about spiritual awakening. The experience changed it all at once.
