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 Valor and Peace & Calming to slow down and unwind after stressful days.
Frankincense, Valor and Release, Tangerine/Gentle Baby and Lavender!
Frankincense, Valor, Release and lavender are my go to’s for calming. Also alternate Stress Away, Tangerine and Gentle Baby

I like valor ll for my anxious children, although i find it a bit sweet. My favourites are stress away, frankincense and good ol lavender.
I’ve used Valor recently when going into big groups (almost-crowds) where I knew very few people–it really helped! And when my husband, an assistant pastor, had to preach at the end of June, I put some Valor on his wrists..and he did so well! I’ve also used Ylang Ylang for some anxiety. Love these oils!
We like Stress Away and Lavender
I can’t imagine life without Stress Away , Release or Abundance !
Stress Away is my fav!
I love Tranquil, RC & Orange!
Such wonderful oils! I’m in love with Gratitude, as well!

I am fairly new to the Young Living journey, but a few of my all time favorites so far to create a calmer mind are stress away, and diffusing lavender and cedarwood every night before bed. Next month Valor is on my order!
