Livity is the Rastafari concept for the universal energy that exists within all things and creatures. The Rastafari saying “I and I” refers to unity within all beings. To revel in livity means to be conscious of the life force that flows through all of us. It is the realisation of this life force that makes us more connected and grounded.
This year we are focusing on overall wellness and wellbeing. It is time to live your best life now! We have just come out of a celebratory season of food, parties etc, and now we are recentering ourselves and settling into a more intentional and conscious way of living. Here are a few things you should know about this Rastafari Philosophy.
Connection
Livity is about personal well-being and living in harmony with the world around us. This includes taking care of the environment, treating others with kindness and respect, and living in a way that supports the well-being of all beings.
Mindfulness
One of the key components of livity is mindfulness. Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in the moment, paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgement. By practising mindfulness, individuals can become more aware of their thoughts and emotions and learn to regulate them, leading to greater inner peace and reduced stress.
Ital Diet
An ital diet is crucial to the philosophy of Livity. When the diet is not healthy, then the mind cannot achieve its optimum state of being. The plant based Ital diet is ideal for achieving Livity. The Ital diet is devoid of all processed foods and excess salt. Rastafarians believe that adhering to a strictly vegetarian/vegan diet results in being closer to the universal energy and life force and to avoid bringing harm or death to any of God’s creatures.
Life is full of ups and downs, and it can be easy to get caught up in the pressures of daily life. By practising Livity, individuals can learn to find balance in their lives, making time for the things that matter most to them and avoiding the stress and burnout that often accompany a fast-paced lifestyle.
The concept of Livity is one that values inner peace, balance, and harmony. By cultivating these qualities, individuals can live a life that is more fulfilling, connected, and harmonious. Whether through yoga, mindfulness, or other practices, Livity is a way of life that can bring greater happiness, well-being, and peace to all who embrace it.
