Lily James has revealed that she has shamanic healing sessions amid her Armie Hammer and Dominic West drama.
Earlier this month, photos emerged of the actress, 31, canoodling with married actor Dominic, 51, in Rome, Italy.
While on Sunday, sources revealed to DailyMail.com that Armie and his estranged wife Elizabeth Chambers’ marriage nose-dived in 2019 after she found passionate texts and letters from a mystery woman who signed herself ‘Adeline’.

Adeline’s real identity is a mystery. But intriguingly, around the same time as the alleged dalliance, Armie was shooting the Netflix movie Rebecca with Lily where she was said to be referred to as Adeline on the movie call sheets and on her trailer.
In an interview released on Saturday with the Guardian Weekend magazine, Lily revealed that she is currently having shamanic healing sessions via zoom.
The actress also admitted that she is ‘horribly gullible’ and ‘easy to convince’ in the candid chat.

Shamans are believed to be able to communicate with spirits through magic, rituals and spiritual visions.
While shamanic healing can include the shaman removing or replacing energies within the individual’s soul. It is a practice that has been used around the world for more than 100,000 years.
Talking about her shamanic healing sessions guided with a healer, Lily said: ‘Over Zoom, with music and drumming and a healer who has led me through all these different rooms in my brain where I had all these messages. I met my grandmother’s dog Dylan, who taught me to laugh.’
Lily admitted that she is ‘horribly gullible’ and ‘easy to convince’, revealing that she was once approached by a fortune teller on Venice Beach in California.
She said: ‘She came up to me and she said some s** to me that was so right, it was terrifying. But immediately the person I was with said, ‘Come on, Lily, she knows who you are’ which was true, maybe.’
Lily went on to admit that she’s concerned the world has become too ‘moralistic’, saying that with art and life it’s ‘never black and white’ with everything happening in the ‘grey area’.
She said: ‘I think conversations about things that are difficult can become very much one side versus the other. We’re in a time where I feel things become very moralistic, and then it’s very difficult to explore around the edges.’

It was Lily’s intimate break with new co-star Dominic in Rome earlier this month that became the subject of frenzied international speculation after they were photographed in several compromising clinches.
And, while her Mrs. de Winter character in the adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s classic novel has no first name, Lily was referred to as Adeline on the movie call sheets and on her trailer, sources claim.
Adeline also happens to be the name of a character in another du Maurier novel, Hungry Hill.
This week, sources on the set told the Mail that Lily seemed to be flirting with her then very married co-star Armie even though she knew the father-of-two was happily married to Elizabeth Chambers, 38.

At the time, former Downton star Lily’s relationship with her longtime boyfriend, actor Matt Smith, 37, had been cooling and observers said the beauty appeared to be ‘smitten’ with Hammer from the moment she laid eyes on him.
One source said: ‘She was not subtle. And he was into it, no doubt about it. She was touching him constantly, giving him long smoldering looks.’
They added: ‘While he was filming, he chose to have weeks away in the English countryside instead of returning to see his family who were also in the UK. This is all very typical of him.’
Things finally came crashing down when Elizabeth discovered passionate messages between Armie and the woman who called herself Adeline, the source said. He also had a number saved in his phone under the same name.
Elizabeth was ‘devastated’, sparking a downward spiral that ended with the former couple jointly announcing they were divorcing after 10 years of marriage in July.

Armie and Lily began filming Netflix’s adaptation of the Gothic novel Rebecca in the UK in June of 2019, shooting in Devon, Dorset and Hertfordshire.
When filming wrapped in August, Armie and his family returned to Los Angeles but he returned to London alone weeks later.
Following his return to Los Angeles things really reached the point of no return, after Elizabeth discovered messages between Armie and ‘Adeline,’ the source said.
‘Elizabeth was devastated, heartbroken,’ they explained. ‘But they had 13 wonderful years together. She wasn’t about to throw away her marriage for one indiscretion.
‘She is an amazing woman. She doesn’t deserve this. You couldn’t ask for a more stunning devoted wife and she’s a great mom to their two little ones.’
They added: ‘While he was filming, he chose to have weeks away in the countryside instead of returning home to see his family, despite being away from them for several months at a time. This is all very typical of him’
Elizabeth decided to stick it out and work with Hammer on their marriage, even going to couple’s therapy. They had plans to renew their vows.
Elizabeth and Armie were in the midst of their therapy when Covid-19 struck in mid-March. In April they announced their family was quarantining in the Cayman Islands – where Hammer had lived for five years as a child.
But the source explained that Hammer couldn’t take the close quarters and after two months, said he was going home to Los Angeles.
However, he went to Miami and accidentally sent Elizabeth a sexually explicit text for yet another woman that she knew wasn’t meant for her, the insider said.
That was the final straw for Elizabeth and on July 10, they both released an identical statement announcing their split, writing ‘Thirteen years as best friends, soulmates, partners and then parents.
‘It has been an incredible journey, but together, we’ve decided to turn the page and move on from our marriage.
‘As we enter into this next chapter, our children and relationship as co-parents and dear friends will remain our priority.
‘We understand this news lends itself to public dialogue, but in the interest of our children and our family, we’re asking for privacy, compassion and love during this time.’
According to divorce papers, they each listed a different separation date, which could impact the alimony Armie has to pay out if they were indeed married less than 10 years. The pair married in May 2010.
Armie claims he and Elizabeth separated in January, while she listed the separation date in July.
Last week, Armie asked a judge to order joint custody, claiming Elizabeth isn’t returning home to LA and is choosing to stay in the Cayman Islands with Harper and Ford, according to The Blast.
Elizabeth had filed for sole physical custody of their children, while Armie requested joint legal and physical custody.

Meanwhile, since the split, Armie has been seen getting close with a bevy of beauties including Rumer Willis.
And although Lily has stayed quiet on the recent photos with Dominic West, an old interview resurfaced, where she spoke about ‘making mistakes’, ‘women having affairs’ and her ‘rebellious streak’.
Lily’s chat with Harper’s Bazaar was shot remotely over Zoom while she was in Somerset shooting The Pursuit Of Love with Dominic, where the cast and crew of the production were placed in a bubble together.
Even though shooting is over, the pair were spotted, along with their shared manager, enjoying an idyllic break in Rome where they shared an electric scooter and cuddled over lunch earlier this month.
On his return to his family home in England a smirking Dominic, far from finding his belongings on the drive, posed for kisses and cuddles with Catherine FitzGerald, his wife of ten years, as the couple insisted there marriage was rock solid.
In the video, Lily said: ‘I feel I’ve rebelled in that way, I was always a rebellious teenager and I think it’s important to rebel in that way.
‘I think criticism can be good if it’s constructive but I feel like if it’s attacking you or a vendetta that’s really difficult but I’m still learning…
‘I’m still figuring it out but I do think I can grow and develop a thicker skin. All that matters is those who love you.’
Speaking about Rebecca, she went on: ‘The character against Rebecca, she went against all norms as a woman, disobeyed her husband and had affairs was basically just brilliant and that was only in the 30s and people are afraid of women when they’re unleashed and women are warriors and that’s intimidating.’
On making mistakes, she continued: ‘I think I make mistakes all the time and I feel that’s what life’s about and I would never want to run away from a situation or be too scared to act…
‘I think it’s better to throw yourself in and if your instincts are right even if they’re misguided or if you’re open you can recover from your mistakes and learn from them.’
