Commander Cody was very easily recognizable, for a clone. It could have been the iconic sunburst paint on his armor, but Cody thought it was the scar running along the edge of his forehead, down next to his left eye, then curving under. He had mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it set him apart from the other clones, making him feel more like an individual. But on the other, it still hurt sometimes, and how he got it wasn’t a story he liked to tell.

He was a cadet, on Kamino. He was almost done with his Clone Commander training, and being young and stupid, he decided to sneak into the hanger bay to check out the Kaminoans flight craft.. Looking back on it, he knew it was a bad idea, as that area was strictly forbidden, but one of the nicer trainers had snuck his batch some alcohol, and he wasn’t really thinking clearly.

He was pretty wild as a cadet, constantly breaking rules and getting into trouble, occasionally dragging his brothers into pranking the long-necks. He didn’t get punished really hard, though, usually just refresher duty for a week or two, or extra practice time, which he actually liked, as it improved his fighting skills.

But this time, when he got caught he was dragged back to a room that he’d never been to before, and he had been in most of the rooms in Tipoca City. He was slammed against a wall. It was wet with water that had seeped in, and it was moldy.

“Wh-What are you doing?” asked Cody.

He got no answer.

Then he saw Lama Su come out from the shadows. His hands were folded behind his back.

“CC-2224, don’t ever learn, do you?” said Lama Su. “You have been acting very immature. You are supposed to be a Clone Commander. You will be second-in-command of one tenth of the Grand Army of the Republic. And if all you’re going to use your skills for is to sneak around, and play pranks, then you clearly need more severe punishment.”

“Uhh, no, I think I’m good.” Cody was scared of what they might do to him. This had never happened to him. Or anyone that he knew. Then Lama Su pulled his hands from behind his back. Cody saw the glint of light on a knife. Oh no, he thought. This isn’t going to be pleasant.

“Let’s try a different means of teaching,” said Lama Su, bringing the knife to Cody’s face.

Cody tried to wiggle out of the grasp of… whatever was holding him against the wall, but it was no use. Lama Su grabbed his face and traced the knife in a squiggly shape down his face, not pressing hard enough to draw blood, but enough to make him scared. Then he went back to the top of Cody’s forehead and drew a gash in a c-shape. Cody gritted his teeth, determined not to scream, but the pain was overwhelming. Blood trickled down his face, getting in his eyes and mouth. Lama Su drove the knife down, bringing the gash down to line up with his eyebrow. Now Cody could hold in the screams and tears no longer. He thrashed and screamed everytime the knife moved further, but he couldn't move away. Lama Su pulled the knife out of Cody’s face, and Cody’s tears became tears of relief, because Oh it’s over, it’s over, no more torture, but the then Lama Su stabbed it into Cody’s cheek, under his eye. Cody screamed in surprise and pain, praying for the pain to stop. Lama Su dragged the knife up towards the other wound. He paused for a second, as if he was thinking whether to put out Cody’s eye, too. Then he violently spun the knife into Cody’s cheek. Now the entire left side of his face was covered in blood, and his screaming had become background noise. Lama Su connected the two ugly gashes. He looked at Cody’s face, a mess of tears and blood, and nodded his approval.

“This should teach you your lesson just fine,” he said. He turned to a figure in the shadows. “Take him to the medbay and slap some bacta patches on him. If anyone asks, a piece of shrapnel hit him in the face.” He turned back to Cody. “You’re lucky I’m not decommissioning you. I expect no more misbehavior from you, CC-2224. And if you do act up, you know what’s coming.”

Cody nodded in fear. He wanted no more of this, ever. The last thing he felt was being violently shoved into someone’s arms.

And then, because of the fierce, terrible pain all over his face, he passed out, hoping that this would never happen again to him, or any of his brothers.

“Commander! Sir!” said a voice

“Huh?! Oh, Waxer, what is it?” replied Cody.

“Sir, you’ve been staring at your reflection for 10 minutes… are you alright?”

Cody shook his head, trying to clear the horrible memories from his mind. “I’m fine. Come on, we’re supposed to be at the hangar bay in 5 minutes.”

Eat the Rainbow

Chakras are energy centers in the body that start at the base of the spine, and travel up to the crown chakra at the top of your head. When your chakras are open and balanced, they draw fresh energy in from the unified field which replenishes and nourishes your personal energy field,  keeping you happy and healthy.

Because our chakras are invisible to most of us you may be thinking that chakras would thrive on energy, prayer, spiritual and hippie dippy stuff. This is true however, its equally important to feed and nourish our physical body to help support and fuel our chakras.

Each chakra governs different body parts and different aspects of your life, so if a chakra is unbalanced, the body part and spiritual messages it governs will also become imbalanced. There are seven chakras that are focused on most often; The Root Chakra, located as the base of the spine, which represents our foundation and grounding. The Sacral Chakra, located in the lower abdomen, which represents creativity, passion, intimacy, and connection. The Solar Plexus Chakra, located in the upper abdomen, which represents self-worth, confidence, and the power of transformation. The Heart Chakra, located in the center of the chest, represents love, forgiveness, inner peace, and joy. The Throat Chakra, located in the throat, represents truth, communication and expression. The Third Eye Chakra, located between the eyebrows, represents imagination, intelligence, and trust. The Crown Chakra, located at the top of the head, represents oneness, spirituality, and divinity.

Chakras can often become blocked/unbalanced. When this happens, it disrupts the flow of energy in our bodies and causes emotional/physical issues. There is a lot of information out there on the chakras and healing them so if you think you may have an unbalance you can check online or find a reiki practitioner that is trained to see and realign your chakras so that energy can flow freely through you.

In today’s standard american diet (SAD), most of what is purchased and being consumed falls into the “white/beige” food colour category. Your typical day may start with cereal, pastry or granola,  for lunch a sandwich and chips and for supper pasta or chicken. What’s really cool about plants is that their colour (or the tiny compounds that create their colour), sources powerful phytonutrients/phytochemicals, the thousands of different chemicals studied in plants have proven their ability to reduce our risk of chronic diseases and cancer.

The rainbow found in our food represent over 25,000 different phytonutrients and when we eat/drink these foods we stimulate enzymes that help the body eliminate toxins, boost the immune system, promote healthy oestrogen metabolism, support cardiovascular health and kill off cancer cells. What’s even cooler is that each different colour represents different families of healing chemicals.

Most Americans Aren’t Getting the Range of Colorful Foods They Need

According to a 2009 phytonutrients report (based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys), 8 out of 10 people in the US are falling short in virtually every color category of phytonutrients.

Based on the report,

78% of Americans are falling short in red phytonutrients

79% of Americans are falling short in yellow and orange phytonutrients

69% of Americans are falling short in green phytonutrients

88% of Americans are falling short in purple and blue phytonutrients

86% of Americans are falling short in white phytonutrients

Our bodies benefit from variety, we need a rainbow of nutrients and colors. In fact, the variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables have enormous healing powers. Eating a diversity of colorful foods can be an easy way to get a complete range of the vitamins and minerals your body needs to thrive.

By continuing to read you will learn the essentials of each chakra and how eating the rainbow will help you reach your health and wellness goals.
