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™ 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Valor, one of my go to favorites! I would love to try some of the other oils mentioned in this article.
I am always looking for specific oils to enhance the workshops I give and several of those mentioned in today`s blog are perfect for various topics I offer. Always nice to be considerate of all six senses; and Young Living is my go to when I honour the sense of smell. I use PEACE AND CALMING and JOY often and look forward to adding PRESENT TIME to my Gratitude workshop.
I could use a young living hug right now 🤗 I am new to young living and love learing all the benifits to your products.
I love Valor, stress away, Joy, and Peace and Calming!
My go to is Joy. No matter what's happening, I find a find a little Joy always makes me feel better and more positive. One drop on my palms and then making a scent tent, I take 10 deep breathes. Voila! I've got a new attitude.
Wow, see? I use Valor when I need that encouragement to make it through the day or if I have a new client to see our even if I'm posting a video on FB about our products. Never thought about using then after work and a hard day. I'm usually using Stress Away and Peace and Calming and Lavender when I feel that tension is getting the better if me. I didn't even know about these other little beautiful bottles with Hugs in them. Always Learning something New!
I have Sacred Mountain and Release! This article shares new ways I can get the full benefit of them. I also want to win . . .
I keep stress away with me at all times and I really love diffusing release with a little bit of orange at night. Valor and Sacred Mountain are two more I use a good bit both in the diffuser and on my diffuser jewelry!
Thank you for sharing!
I'm so excited for my first bottle of valor to arrive this Saturday! My children and I have been through a difficult and traumatic 3 years.
I've been using Sacred Mountain bar soap in the shower for months - what a comforting scent!!
I also diffuse Release at night, when sleep doesn't come so easily or I've had a few nights of stressful sleep. I'm not a fan of the scent on its own, but it works!
My "go-to oils" right now, for calm & comfort are the combination of Stress Away and Lemon, and straight-up Peace and Calming. I keep a 10 oz roller with me at all times, for myself & my kids, for when life gets overwhelming. It's wonderful!
