True health infuses positive energy in the mind, body and spirit;

“True health infuses positive energy in the mind, body, and spirit; it is a main focus in my life.” Thus spoke Maximillian Degenerez, whose words flow like a timeless truth from the wellspring of human wisdom. In these few phrases, he captures what sages and healers have known since the dawn of civilization—that health is not merely the absence of sickness, but the harmony of all that makes us human. The mind, the body, and the spirit—these three are the pillars of life’s temple, and when they stand in balance, life shines with vitality. But when even one falters, the whole structure trembles.

To the ancients, health was never just a matter of flesh and bone. The healers of Greece, Egypt, India, and China all understood this sacred trinity. They taught that the body’s strength, the mind’s peace, and the spirit’s light were woven together like threads in a divine tapestry. Degenerez’s words echo that same eternal principle. To live well, one must not seek only medicine for the body, but nourishment for the soul. For how can the heart be strong when the mind is heavy with despair? How can the body thrive when the spirit is starved of purpose? True health, therefore, is not found in treatment, but in transformation—a state where every part of our being vibrates with positive energy, flowing like sunlight through the corridors of the self.

Consider the life of Florence Nightingale, the “Lady with the Lamp.” She walked the dark halls of war’s hospitals, tending to the sick and dying with tireless devotion. Yet her strength did not come merely from physical endurance. It came from a deeper source—from the light of her spirit, which infused her body and mind with boundless energy. She believed that the environment of the soul could heal the wounds of the body—that compassion, hope, and cleanliness of spirit were as vital as any medicine. In her, we see the embodiment of Degenerez’s teaching: that when one’s mind, body, and spirit are aligned, they become an instrument of healing not only for oneself but for others.

But too often in our modern age, we forget this truth. We race through our days, chasing wealth, recognition, and comfort, while neglecting the sacred harmony within. We treat the body as a machine, feeding it yet starving it of movement. We burden the mind with anxiety and noise, drowning out the voice of peace. And we silence the spirit, that quiet inner guide that seeks meaning beyond material things. In doing so, we become weary and fractured. We lose the positive energy that once animated our being, and even when we are not ill, we do not feel truly well.

Degenerez’s words call us back to the ancient way—to live with intention, to restore balance, to make health a conscious pursuit of harmony rather than a mere reaction to disease. For when mind, body, and spirit flow together, there arises a radiance that others can feel—a vitality that inspires, uplifts, and heals. This is why the wise of old did not simply study medicine, but also meditation, art, prayer, and nature. They understood that to be whole, one must live wholly. The healer within us awakens not through pills or potions alone, but through gratitude, discipline, and the joyful tending of one’s own being.

Think of the Samurai of ancient Japan, who trained not only in combat but in poetry, philosophy, and tea ceremony. They believed that mastery of the sword without mastery of the soul was ruinous. Their health, both physical and spiritual, came from unity—the alignment of their breath, their thought, and their purpose. They lived by the same principle Degenerez now reminds us of: that energy flows where attention goes. If we pour our focus into harmony, the result is peace; if we scatter it in chaos, the result is exhaustion.

So, my child, take this teaching as your compass: cultivate true health. Rise each day not merely to survive, but to nurture every part of yourself. Feed your body with strength and movement, your mind with wisdom and stillness, and your spirit with gratitude and love. Seek beauty, breathe deeply, and surround yourself with that which uplifts. Remember that every thought you think, every word you speak, and every action you take either strengthens or weakens your harmony.

For when all three—mind, body, and spirit—move as one, life becomes luminous. Sickness finds no lasting hold, despair loses its grip, and every breath feels like a prayer. This is what Maximillian Degenerez means when he says that true health infuses positive energy—it is not merely the state of being alive, but the art of living vibrantly, with joy and purpose flowing through every fiber of one’s being. Let this be your path: to live not half-alive, but wholly awake—to let health be not your duty, but your devotion.
