Is actually:  mens sana in corpore sano ''A healthy mind in a healthy body''. Over time, the phrase has come to mean that only a healthy body can produce or sustain a healthy mind and vice versa. Is a saying of the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Thales, "Νοῦς ὑγιὴς ἐν σώματι ὑγιεῖ". Is commonly addressed today to kind-of forma mentis the ancient Greeks hoping to achieve trough sports and knowledge. In fact the phrase is derived from Satire X of the Roman poet Juvenal which intended to teach his fellow Roman citizens that in the main, their prayers for such things as long life are misguided. That the gods had provided man with virtues which he then lists for them.

-Over time and separated from its context, the phrase has come to have a range of meanings. It can be construed to mean that only a healthy body can produce or sustain a healthy mind. Its most general usage is to express the hierarchy of needs: with physical and mental health at the root.

About the 정심정기/正心正己 above. Since i never study the contexts or the texts i will abstain from any kind of comment. I like to quote prof. Pregadio:  "There’s one more important thing. I can hardly imagine a Chinese — or Indian, Japanese, Tibetan, Persian, etc. — adept of a tradition who does not know, study, and often memorize the main texts of his or her tradition. Knowledge of the written records of a tradition should also be important for a Western follower. Without that knowledge, a Western follower could easily end up twisting and distorting the tradition that he or she claims to belong to, according to his or her own particular perspective. Any Eastern tradition teaches exactly the opposite attitude: until one reaches a truly advanced stage, one should follow the tradition “as is,” with no attempt to reinterpret it or adapt it to any contingent circumstance. The re-adaptation (or rather, re-codification) of a teaching to different historical or social circumstances is a very important and interesting phenomenon in the history of any traditional teaching."
