Shirley MacLaine Honored with Elevated Existence Spiritual Service Award

Elmwood Park, NJ, January 10, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Elevated Existence, a digital, spiritual magazine with a self-improvement focus, honored Shirley MacLaine with the 2nd Annual Elevated Existence Spiritual Service award. Magazine founder, Tammy Mastroberte, presented the award to MacLaine during an interview at her home in California, and the actress and author is featured as the cover story of the newly released December 2010 issue of Elevated Existence Magazine.

“I’ve been a mystic all my life,” MacLaine says in the cover story. “I was always more curious about taking off after a movie and going somewhere to explore than hanging around and doing the social life in Hollywood.”

Before new age beliefs become mainstream and spiritual seminars were packed with eager attendees around the world, Shirley MacLaine published her book, “Out on a Limb,” in 1983 – the same year she won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in “Terms of Endearment.” The book revealed her spiritual beliefs, including reincarnation, communication with spirit guides and more. Now, more than 25 years later, she continues to explore spirituality and share her experiences with the world.

“I don’t care about changing anybody’s mind or value system or religious beliefs at all. I care about putting down what I have learned and what I believe,” she says, explaining she is currently working on a book contemplating the topic of evil, and if it exists.

“Evil is ‘live’ spelled backward, so let’s face it, when you have these dark waves you are just not living in the light. But are there evil entities or evil people?” she says in the cover story.

Elevated Existence created the Spiritual Service award to highlight one individual each year, whose actions, intentions and work spread the gift of spirituality worldwide; enlighten others with knowledge to improve the quality of lives; and contribute to the overall uplifting of the world’s consciousness.

“Shirley MacLaine is a true spiritual pioneer who continues to inspire many through her numerous books, seminars, Web site and Independent Expression Radio,” said Tammy Mastroberte, founder, publisher and editorial director of Elevated Existence magazine. “She had the strength and courage to reveal what she believed without fear of how others would react, and continues to spread the truth as she sees it today. It was an honor to interview her and present her with this award.”

The December 2010 issue is available for individual purchase, or through a one-year subscription for only $10. Visit www.elevatedexistence.com for more information.
