π Christmas Reflection: Mary, the Mother of Jesus πΉ
A study shows that inhaling rose essential oil can help reduce anxiety during labour.
This reminds us of Mother Mary, who gave birth to Jesus with courage, faith, and calm trust in God.
When a woman gives birth, emotions are strong.
Fear, pain, and uncertainty can rise β yet Mary carried peace in her heart.
When we inhale a gentle scent like rose, it travels to the part of the brain that controls emotions and stress, helping the body feel calmer and supported.
πΉ Rose has long symbolised love, purity, and divine comfort β qualities we see in Mother Mary during the birth of Jesus.
This Christmas, may we remember:
β’ Godβs presence brings peace
β’ Gentle support matters
β’ Love and calm can exist even in difficult moments
β¨ Just as God surrounded Mary with grace, may we also be surrounded by peace β body, mind, and spirit.
Merry Christmas π€ππΉπ₯°ππ
