Los Angeles - Victoria and David Beckham have turned to Buddhism.
The couple - who live in Los Angeles with their three sons - have reportedly "embraced" the mystical religion and are now chanting every morning in a bid to help them deal with their hectic lifestyles.
A source said: "David and Victoria have gone completely Californian! David has begun wearing health, prosperity and performance beads around his wrist. He has started yoga and stretching classes after a knee injury, and then a teammate suggested Buddhist chanting to soothe his mind.
"Now he and Victoria do a short five-minute chant when they wake up to start the day off on the right foot, repeating, 'Homage to the blessed one, the worthy one, the rightly self-awakened one.' "
Former Spice Girls star Victoria, 34, has also reportedly incorporated holistic eating into her diet plan.
The source added to Britain's Look magazine: "David and Victoria are really getting into the whole holistic, healthy vibe too. Victoria often picks up a soya latte at an organic cafe called Urth Caffe, which is next to The Bodhi Tree bookstore, where she bought hundreds of dollars' worth of self-help books."
The pair have are even said to have employed a Feng Shui expert to ensure their mansion is appropriately arranged.
The source revealed: "They have had Chinese Feng Shui experts come in to rearrange their home, hop[ing] it will improve David's luck on the soccer pitch and their chances of conceiving. They have turned into the ultimate hippy power couple!" - Bang Showbiz.com
