Today we’d like to introduce you to Rebecca Hamm.
Hi Rebecca, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My story began when I ended up homeless at 17 and found myself sleeping in the backseat of a friend’s Chevy Camaro on Fairfax Blvd in Los Angles, California. Little did I know, this would change my life forever and set in motion a spiritual journey that would continue to unfold to this day. As a young teenager trying to survive on the streets all alone and without any help, facing odds that would find most young people at that age ill-equipped to endure and overcome, I experienced truly unfathomable challenges from abusing drugs and alcohol; stealing food to survive and then later overcoming an eating disorder; being interrogated by the FBI and almost going to prison for thirty years; to hanging out with famous people; all of this within the backdrop of coming to terms with an unbearable loneliness that had encompassed my entire life. And this all happened before I was 22.
Because of these experiences, I was introduced to a vast array of powerful and influential people who provided direction and exposure to universal wisdom. Without realizing it at the time, I was being initiated into the role of a teacher of the unity. I met and befriended people from every walk of life and this aspect alone would become crucial to the work I would do later in life. In fact, every single person who has ever made a difference in my life were not conformist but rather individuals who offered unique perspectives on healing principles and mystical paths. Each of these individuals, like pieces of my life puzzle, contributed to my spiritual knowledge, gifts, and story. Thus, the loneliness transformed into belonging, and all of the pain and suffering I endured became the catalyst through which my life purpose was revealed. My path was then secured as a spiritual messenger.
Over the past thirty-three years, my sincere intention has been to ignite, inspire, redirect, remind, and challenge people back to their innate sovereignty and conscious state of alignment. In essence, I am a messenger for unified consciousness and/or Source. I have been blessed to serve a wide range of souls from single moms, NFL players, the disenfranchised, the wealthy and famous, gang bangers in South Central Los Angeles, business leaders and developers, to prison inmates, known Spiritual leaders, young male sex offenders, and artists and creators to name a few. I am a truth speaker with an unwavering sense of integrity and impeccable ethics. I bring a non-judgmental style with a laser sharp insight into my work. At the end of the day, my heart has remained tender and open; and I have never lost my wild sense of humor, lightness of being, and love for life.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
I want to share right up front despite my success over the years, I have made many mistakes, some huge, and yet, it was these mistakes that became my greatest teachers. In my work nowadays, I often find myself struggling when being asked to hold people, companies, or humanity accountable for their words and actions which triggers people and creates separation. This is because we are typically disconnected from or fearful of the truth. I’m like the character in A Few Good Men, when Lt. Kaffee declares “I want the truth!” to which Colonel Jessup replies, “You can’t handle the truth!”
Furthermore, my Sufi name, Halima, which means the greatest forgiver (the pardoner) is best represented by the character Helen Prejean in Dead Man Walking where my role is to give love and forgiveness to anyone and everyone no matter what they have done or not done in their lives. It’s my nature to accept and love everyone with compassion and this creates difficulty because I come across many in my work who are stuck in a construct driven by martyrdom, entitlement, and blame. And now more than ever, encouraging people to take personal accountability and responsibility for their thoughts, actions, and health requires the greatest degree of my energy.
Finally, as a messenger of the Unity, another obstacle I find is how do I invite and encourage people to not remain in separation; in other words, when we elevate ourselves above others on any level or treat people as less than or different, we make separation. I do not care if you’re Christian or Atheist, poor or rich; we are all born unique and we all have something to offer this world even those who trigger us.
Any big plans?
At this point in my life, my desire will be to magnify the universal teachings, messages, and insights to a larger platform and reveal new healing concepts to mass consciousness. We are planning a docu-series, audiobook, and podcast to launch the next phase of my life’s passion. I can’t wait to continue my travel journeys, make more music, make more friends, and laugh my ass off.
