Winehouse takes up meditation

According to The Sun, Amy Winehouse has taken up Buddhist chanting to help her quit drugs, the same practice Courtney Love credits for her recovery.

How about a nice rumour about Amy Winehouse, after all that talk of brain damage and no-shows? The singer has reportedly taken up Buddhist meditation to help her quit drugs. She was apparently introduced to Nam Myoho Renge Kyo Buddhism recently and now chants twice a day. This is the same form of Buddhism that Courtney Love credits her recovery to. I'm very much looking forward to Amy's post-recovery MySpace blog, then.

A source told The Sun: "One of her musician friends introduced Amy to Buddhist chanting. She chants for ten minutes in the mornings and just 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".
