Amy Winehouse has turned to Buddhism in hopes of bringing balance and stability to her completely fucked-up life. "One of her musicians introduced Amy to Buddhist chanting," a source explained. "She chants for 10 minutes in the mornings and before she sleeps. Amy has also been watching the interview clip of Tina Turner chanting on YouTube and she reckons it's already affecting her in a positive way.
"She has a string of Buddhist beads that she chants with, which she keeps in a red silk scarf. She says chanting is filling her life with positivity while she is trying to sort herself out."
Druggies always turn to religion like this - they need something for their compulsive nature to fix itself upon - but I don't really think Amy's at that stage where she's going to reject drugs and booze and fill her life with chanting and meditation and hanging with Richard Gere. Maybe down the road after she's burned out the rest of her brain cells. The decimated mind tends to be more receptive to mystical mumbo jumbo and other forms of bullshit. Amy will probably wind up worshipping Andy the Magic Earthworm.
