India.Arie's Spiritual Turning Point | SuperSoul Sunday | Oprah Winfrey Network

In 2009, a series of physical setbacks, a broken engagement and a cross-country tour left India.Arie exhausted and at a spiritual crossroads. She left the music industry to find some healing and slowly began working again over the next few years. In 2012, however, she started having serious issues with her skin and suspected she had a serious illness. As it turns out, she says, her soul was sick and manifesting in other ways. Watch as India.Arie reflects on a life-changing hike she took up a Hawaiian volcano and what it taught her about the importance of acceptance and surrender.

India.Arie's Spiritual Turning Point | SuperSoul Sunday | Oprah Winfrey Network

[chloejones]

Sometimes God doesn't deliver us from our troubles because He's trying to deliver us from ourselves.

[CandyisAwesome]

"And now your chest burns and your back aches
Because now the years are showing up on your face
But you're never be happy
And you'll never be whole
Until you see the beauty in growing old"
-Get It Together, India Arie

Gosh she and her lyrics are both gorgeous!

[DREAMSANDSOUL]

She met her Higher Self... inner peace, wisdom and love

[JustJRR]

Surrender & acceptance allow the energy to move through you, they unblock your pores.

Love this.

[GeorgiaIsOnMyMind]

I love Arie's singing voice but I just realized I love her speaking voice too.

[Kikimooderzx]

I’m here because my grandma sent this to me. She’s an angel 😭😭😭

[jjjellyjen]

God has been so good to me I'm surrendering as we speak thank you Lord

[ronszera]

she is a true singer and musician, she writes and sings something to guide people.

[rohinimalhotra]

[awakeningmatters]

By making peace with where you are, you let go of resistance which then allows manifestation of what you want to take place . ~Abraham Hicks

[ebonymitchell]

6 years later and I am crying my eyes out what a powerful interview. I never understood the relationship between self love and surrender.

[Luxey__X]

That was deep and total confirmation to what I've been feeling ... Accept and surrender

[lyricrhodes]

I just went through this lesson & it's SO true. Have your way Lord.

[bradley]

That is my mantra: All things are in divine, perfect order in the universe!

[realflowerssings]

I love Oprah's story and all that she has to share. I just wish she'd let people fully answer the question for themselves instead of trying to fill it in for them. I feel like I'm missing a piece of their genuine answer.

[jujuaroha]

What she felt in that moment was balance

[newe]

Wow, that made my cry. The truest of truths is in the simplicity....when we know all is well and in divine order no matter how bad or out of order they seem.

[cbwinning]

Peace always comes when you don’t react especially not reacting emotionally. Release and just letting things be is the key.

[kaywiththevibes]

I love this. I have been hearing acceptance and surrendering A LOT lately.

[UKLeonie]

Surrendering is the hardest thing, but the easiest also. It's literally so profound how calming life instantly becomes when you let go and trust that things will work out.
