Hug in a bottle: An essential oil guide to uplift and inspire

Some days your skies are clear, blue, and beautiful—and some days your picnic plans are interrupted with an unexpected storm warning. But don’t worry! Ruined plans can be a bummer, but the sun will come out again soon. In the meantime, try one of these essential oil blends that will remind you of getting a great, big hug!

 

SARA: a hug for comfort

SARA™ is a sweet blend of Geranium, Ylang Ylang, and Rose. Think of SARA as a big sister, ready to wrap you up in a quilt, hand you a cup of cocoa, and comfort you with compassion. Try rubbing a drop of this blend onto your wrists when you feel like you could use a listening ear. Dilute it with a few drops of a carrier oil to keep your skin happy.

 

Present Time: a hug for gratitude

If you have way too many alarms set on your phone, an ever-growing to-do list, or a pile of dirty dishes that keeps doubling in size, you might want to reach for Present Time™. Diffuse this delicate scent as you take a minute to reconnect with the present and let go of the expectations you have for yourself. Once you feel calmer, consider doing those dishes before the leftovers grow legs!

 

Release: a hug for liberation

Ready to let go of some of the “nope” from your day? Throw on some jams, roll out your yoga mat, and diffuse Release™. After stretching out and focusing on your breathing, you might just feel like saying, “Heck yes!” instead.

Grounding: a hug from Mother Nature

Sometimes all we need is a little nature. Even if you can’t get outside, you can connect with your roots by taking a tech detox for a few hours while diffusing Grounding™. This blend of White Fir, Black Spruce, and Pine combines into a forest-inspired aroma. Close your eyes and breathe in the scent of the great outdoors as you enjoy some quiet time.

 

Hope: a hug for optimism

Looking for some sunshine? Try a little Hope™. While it can’t really change the weather, it might just be the bright spot on a dark day. This gentle blend can be added to a favorite lotion, diffused, or applied topically.

 

Peace & Calming: a hug for calm

Couldn’t we all use a little more Peace & Calming® in our lives? This gentle blend is one of our most popular essential oil blends, and for good reason! Whether you need a bear hug or are trying to settle in for a night’s hibernation, diffusing this scent adds a special something to the end of a long day.

Gathering: a hug for connection

It can be hard to gather your thoughts after a long day. Or gather your family for dinner. Or gather strength to keep up on your goals. Sound familiar? Try diffusing Gathering™ as you turn daily chaos into calmness by journaling, meditating, or writing an award-worthy to-do list.

  • I have heard great things about Valor bu I haven't tried it yet. So far my go to relaxer is Peace And calming or lavender. Would love to win these and expand my oil knowledge

  • I have been using Believe and Abundance on my YL diffuser necklace. Gives me the belief I can do this business and tell everyone about Young Living

  • Valor is my favorite coworker! Awhile back I was in a place in my career where I had pressure mounting. I had competed training in a new department and was now required to perform the difficult tasks to show proficiency. The job had extensive pressure as I was responsible for the care of patients under anesthesia. I was very afraid of failure and knew that my ability to respond without stress to various situations also had empact on the patients life. I have always allowed fear to block my success. However my sister gave me some Valor. I applied this every morning. I noticed fear was no longer stronger than me and I found confidence to perform without feeling paralized. Fast forward I have conquered my fears and am very successful at my new position. I now use Valor every time I will be encountering the unknown. A difficult meeting, job interviews, and much more. Thank you Valor I am no longer controlled by anxiety and fear. Cedarwood is my go to for unwinding after a draining day.

  • Valor is my absolute favorite. I apply before hard workouts and 9/10 I always improve over my expectations!

  • Valor is hands down my favorite oil ever! I call it 'courage in a bottle' and use before any public speaking event. I wear it in my diffuser necklace and have it on my diffuser bracelet. Can't get enough of it!

  • I plan to try each and everyone of these with the goal of finding peace of mind for not just me but those in my circle. I will diffuse a different one every time someone comes to visit or when I go over to my grandmother's house hoping I will find the one that works for everyone I love. My favorite go to are Joy and Awaken.
