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 love Stress Away I have to say that is my go to oil. I have fallen in love with Believe lately. It is funny how you do not realize how the oils affect you until you actually stand back and observe your behavior........

  • I really like Sacred Mountain as well as Release and Valor💕👌💕. Want to use all of these beauties-never too many hugs!!!

  • My favorite oils for peace and comfort are Cedarwood, Lavender, Peace and Calming, Frankincense and Valor. These oils will always be part of our household.

  • I need a very big Young Living hug. My father passed away 2 weeks ago and it is very sad in our house. Dad left a very big whole in this world. I would love to win these and be enveloped in a Young Living hug

  • I am thrilled that Valor is back. It is one of my favorite oils that I use several times a week for support. Now that it's back, I think I'll include it daily. Love my Valor!

  • I would absolutely love any of these oils! It is so hard to choose one! I am coming on my one year anniversary with Young Living so I didn't know anything about Valor until all of the Rally excitement about its return this past spring. I still have yet to try it but have heard so many amazing things!!

  • I am new to YOUNG LIVING and excited for this new Journey. I have always enjoyed essential oils. These oils would be a great addition to my starter kit.

  • These are like big hugs. Still recovering from the great flood of 2016, & a 15yr abusive marriage, adultery, & discrediting of all the abuse. I frequently diffuse & wear these combined in a sprayer with water valor, hope, forgiveness, present time, trauma life, release, into the future & sacred mountain. We're boldly going into the future to reclaim the lives my kids & i once had. Not sure I'd have made it thru this past year without these hugs in a bottle!! Thank you YLEO!!! 💖
