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.

Peace & Calming is my go-to oil for a little comfort at a rough time of day!
I’d love to try release!
For my grounding I use Release and Lavender. Release will allow me to get rid of all my anxiety and negative thoughts. I love it! Gives me such a happier feeling.
After my husband left for deployment a couple months ago and being left in a new place and knowing very few people, I put Frankincense on the back of my neck, Valor and Joy interchangeably over my heart and on my wrists, and Lavender for comfort and to invoke a calm. He comes back before Thanksgiving and I know that these oils added to my collection would definitely have some heavily desired benefits to create the happy and healthy environment me and my pup need.
I am pretty new to the oily journey! I just got my ER box and valor is one of the oils in it. I can’t wait to try it!! One of my other blends I can’t get enough of is stress away for the crazy at work and the hulk mama times at home!!
Love Frankincense and Myrrh!!
I love Peace & Calming diffused before bedtime to help my family wind down! I hear wonderful things about Valor and Sacred mountain. They are on my wish list!
So far, I just have the starter kit, but the first bottle I ran out of was Lavender. I’ve been going through some change. These oils would be very helpful as I navagate the next phase in my life!
I love Peace and Calming to chill out, and Awaken smells amazing to unlock creativity.
I love Frankincense and Orange diffused! It’s so grounding and relaxing!
I love Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood! The scent is warm and calming! I also love Valor when I need to feel strong and confident.
(I also love Sacred Sandalwood.)
All of these sound amazing! I definitely want to try gathering because sometimes my mind is so busy I can’t even focus on the people I’m with!
I’d love to win. Been having to use oils every day and can’t do anything without them. I’m using Lavender, Frankincense, Peace and Calming, Valor and Vetiver and Peppermint every day. Any of the above would be great additions! I need to start saving up! It takes a lot of effort to do anything most days and feeling…Is difficult. I’m bookmarking this post to refer back to it! I could use a hug every day and often since I have anxiety and depression.
I have new favorites every month! The one that has never changed is Valor. It’s more than just courage it gives me peace all over and grounding. I haven’t even tried Grounding yet, or any of the others mentioned above besides Valor & Valor II and I absolutely love and have to have Valor in my possession at all times! I have tried Release from a friend and plan on ordering in the near future! My other all time favorite oil is Lavender it is my go to for everything if there’s no time to look up what I may need Lavender is on the case and always works! I do not know how I really lived before I found YL, but I do know I will never live without it.
I am loving valor!! I have used it in my diffuser 2 nights in a row and hAve slept like a baby!!
Frankincense is my favorite but close behind is Joy. A drop of Joy behind the ears just relaxes me and truly does bring me Joy.
Valor is an absolute favorite if mine. I honestly don’t think I could live without it at the moment! Haven’t tried the others yet but they are definitely on my list. Thank you for this much needed information and the chance to receive these amazing oils!!!
I love this promotion! I have only ever tried Valor (when it was out of stock I hoarded my lone bottle and only sniffed from the bottle for over a year!) but I would love to utilize these in my home and for various occasions – my son loves the benefits of Valor and often uses it when he has to leave our home (we coparent) and my husband and I are both in school (I’m writing my dissertation and he is working on his third masters degree) so we all need plenty of hugs!
I would love to try some of these oils! Crossing my fingers for the win :)
I would love all of these, but my current favorite combo to bring me peace & comfort is Stress Away diffused with Northern Lights Black Spruce & Bergamot!❤️
I love, love, love, Valor for calming and courage! It is probably my ultimate favorite oil!
I would love to win these! Gentle baby and peace and Calming are my go to!
Love essential oils for my anxiety 🙌🏼
Sara, Valor & Stress Away. Id love to try Sacred Mountain and Highest Potential!
What an amazing blessing this is going to be for the lucky winners. Valor is an amazing oil with such wonderful benefits.
I love Valor. I stand straight and tall.
Valor literally wraps me in good feelings, relaxes & helps make me at ease with my crazy world. I can conquer anything!
I haven’t tried any of these yet, but they sound amazing! I’ve been wanting to try Valor.
A hug in a bottle so sweet! I am enjoying my hugs this summer!
Valor stays in my monthly ER! I use it every Sunday before leading worship to give me the extra boost of courage and support I need being on stage in front of so many people!
I love to use joy to pick my spirits up!
My favorite is stress away, but Sacred Mountain sounds amazing! I want to try it!
YL oils certainly do provide uplift when I need them! But they change day to day as to which one is the best… Today, I used Fennel (which I got free in my latest ER order!). I think it was a great pick today, as I woke up in a rather PMS-like mood… I feel alot better now!
STRESS AWAY! I practically bathe in it. And once it settles on my skin, it smells like a sweet fragrance to others. amazing
My favorite oil for peace and comfort is Chriatmas Spirit. I know it sounds like an odd oil but my christmas memories are wonderful and this brings them right up in my mind. Calming me down and reminding me who is in charge of everything, God! Even when its 110 degrees out, LOL!
Awesome! I love Grapefruit, bergamot, and stress away for my hugs <3
I love the sweet smell of stress away!!
I just received Hope and I love it. I am looking forward to it helping me with my feelings.
LOVE MY OILS!
I have tried Valor but have not tried the others! I use valor, peppermint & panaway in my bath to soothe aching muscles to relax before bed!! Would love to try the others!! Love Young Living Oils!!❤️
one of my favorite oils valor, along with frankincense hyssop levender cedarwood. love all the oils from youngliving
Cinnamon bark is comforting to me as it reminds me of the cinnamon apple pies my mom made for us growing up.
I have been using peace and calming along with release and clarity to help me deal with addiction. Not the typical substance abuse but more process addiction issues and when I use these oils see a profound difference in my ability to cope with issues that would typically trigger poor choices. I know that my lofe would be on a different path for sure if I had not dicovered the emotional benifits these oils have to offer.
I love Stress Away! So soothing to my soul! 🕊
Thank you for the chance! I love all the calming essential oils!
I love peace and calming in my aria diffuser at bedtime. I envision being on a raft in tropical blue green waters,with a light gentle breeze blowing across my face! Speaking of Envision-I wake from a peaceful night diffused sleep, to envision oil drifting from my Desert mist diffuser! Envision stirs my thoughts towards the day ahead as I plan my tour of the townsfolk and who I will chat up the YL essential oils with today! I envision a bright future with this company sharing my 💜Of oils!!!! Lucy Ann in Richland Ga, a small town near Plains!
Yes! I love valor. It is my sanity.
I use peace and calming and lavender! I have anxiety attacks, and peace and calming as been a lifesaver in the diffuser.
I would love to try these, my go to for the blues is stress Away and peace and calming!
I use Frankincense for my hugs. I love it!
