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.

Out of all these oils I’ve only tried Valor and Sacred Mountain. My favorite one would be Sacred Mountain. I’m in the process of recovering from surgery so I would love to try Gathering to get all my thoughts in a straight line instead if all over the place.
Love YL essential oils…bought starter kit for both of my daughters to start using. Best oils on the market.
My two daughters who are 10 and 7 steal my valor ALL THE Time!! It provided us peace and comfort and we cannot live without it!
I just started my new adventure with Young Living oils about 4 months ago and they have been even more amazing than I ever expected! I have been able to make so much progress in climbing the ladder at work and in my marriage. To say this company has been a life saver is a huge understatement. Any of these oils would be so wonderful to add to my slowly growing collection.
My go to is always lavender and peace and calming!!
We use Grounding and Euclyptus Blue for our house.
I’d love to try Sacred Mountain! I love earthy wood based smells they help support my family’s mental and emotional health the most!
These 3 oils are on my want list. Until I get what I want, I’m using Peace and Calming, Lavender and Stress Away.
I love peace and calming to help calm me and Jade lemon to get me moving!! I am amazed by these oils and love the shift I am seeing in my emotional life!
My favorite uplifting oils are bergamot, and jasmine <3
Awaken, Stress Away and Egyptian Gold are my favorite go to oils.
I already enjoy three of these oils. I can see I now need to experience Hope and Gathering as well. Great information, thank you for sharing.
Well I am having one of those stressful work days – so when I read this post – I totally thought – PICK ME – I really really NEED these oils right now.
I currently only have Valor but put it on when I am feel not so confident, it gives me a boost within seconds. I have Joy now and I feel like it gives me a hug as I apply.
I absolutely love to diffuse Theives and putting lavendar on me. I love oils. I don’t have these, so it would be amazing to win! Thanks for the giveaway!!
where does one decide w/ so many great oils to chose from. i love yhem all. i love lavender, peace n calming, Joy, and Believe…the list just doesnt end for me
I love your panaway for all my aches n pains! Works wonders! Love all your oils !
Yes please!!! Have not had a chance to experience any of these oils so far!
I love Valor! It has the most amazing smell to me. My all-time favorite oil that always feels like a hug is Peace and Calming. It is my go to!
Sacred Mountain and Jasmine are my oils for calming my soul, they are amazing
My two daughters who are 10 and 7 steal my valor ALL THE TIME!! It gives us all an extreme amount of comfort and peace…we cannot live without it!!
It’s incredible the effects that a human hug can have on an individual. I’ve seen it time and again with children who come from broken homes, or have spent their first years in an orphanage. They are sad, lonely, and broken. It seems an insurmountable task to bring life back into their little bodies. Yet, little by little, with a smile, a hug, a gentle hand on a shoulder, I see these wee ones begin to trust and hope and love again.
As an adult I know that my hardest days can be made that much easier when someone offers a hug. What a relief to know I can grab a “hug from a bottle” anytime it’s needed now :)
These are all some of my most favorite oils!!! Would love to win them free!!
I have been wanting to try Sacred Mountain. Love Valor!!
Valor is one of my favorites!
Nice giveaway! Easy Peasy!! My favourite blend in the diffuser to help us relax is Orange and Marjoram! Are used to be a lavender girl, but this is my go to blend now💖 My husband wears Northern Lights as cologne…so glad he is on board! Xo
Love to try these oils.. My peace & comfort oils are theives, orange & lavender..:)
I have a small bottle of Sacred Mountain, given to us as a little giveaway during the last LYPR and it really does wonders in relaxing my mind. It’s one of my go-to oils lately! And ofcourse, Stress Away is just the bomb!
Stress Away is the oil i’m afraid of running out of. Works wonderfully for those tense muscles in the back of my neck. And always a drop on the back of my neck before bed. I have to say Sacred Mountain sounds heavenly. I might need to have this! 😊
I love Valor and peace and calming!
I love, love, love Release!!! It has helped me through some difficult times! I’ve ordered Valor but haven’t tried it yet! I think I will tonight :) I use Ylang Ylang every night, now very curious about Sacred Mountain, too!
We love our oil hugs from Young Living!
I’m still in search of my “favorite” oil to use for inner calming. So far, I’ve used Stress Away, Valor II, and Peace and Calming II, as well as the more common Lavender. Would be wonderful to try new scents.
Since being introduced to Young Living I have had so many great expieriences…I’ve had a hard time with depression for a lot of my childhood and it has continued into my adult life…I love that Young Living offers these give a ways for us who do not have much as far as resources, and gives us a chance to win. As of now one of my favorites is Inner Child..I don’t use it as much as I’d like to because it was a splurge but it is a go to when I need a pick me up.
I absolutely adore Valor! When I need emotional support, I find comfort in this blend!
Stress away has done wonders for me.
Sleeping restfully is so wonderful and no neck pain to wake me up.
I love to diffuse Peace & Calming with Valor and Lavender in the evening. Release with Northen Lights Black Spruce. Joy and Purification are also uplifting! Really looking forward to trying all of these blends suggested!! Thanks YL for these amazing blessings called essential oils!
My favorites for peace and comfort are Valor, Peace and Calming and Stress Away!! I will like to try Hope blend!! 🙌🏻
Valor is next on my wish list. I love the Peace and Calming blend.
I’ve experienced most of those blends. My favorite is Sacred Mountain. I love the peace and calming it brings to my busy days.
I haven’t tried many of these blends, but my go-to for relaxing is lavender. 😀
I need all the courage, love, hugs, peace and comfort possible! <3
Love Valor and I definitely need Release to unload my feelings. I always keep them bottled up. Release would be great to use!
All of these are some of my favorite blends. Everyone needs a hug every once in a while!
Stress Away and Frankincense are my go-to’s for relaxation and to bring calm. I also really love Joy, because it makes me feel like I’m in a field of flowers, and you can’t help but relax from that 🙂
Peace & Calming is my go to right now. I also love Ylang Ylang, patchouli, and bergamot for a pick me up.
I love diffusing Bergamot, and have a roller top on my stress away bottle. But I need to try more blends.
Would love to try these oils! Just learning all about what oils can do for me!
I use Peace & Calming, Frankincense and Valor for peace and comfort. I also use tree oils for grounding.
I happen to love peace and calming but I’ve recently tried Awaken and its totally amazing, the fragrance and peacefulness is OFF the chart :) I love my YLEOS!
Love to try these oils.. My peace & comfort oils are theives, orange & lavender..:)
