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.

Valor and Stress Away!
I would really like to tryout these
Would love to try some of these….
Stress Away is a daily must-have for me, and Peace and Calming when I need a little extra relief.
I love this post! Really breaks things down, and I’ve been wondering about a few of these. Thanks! I’m going to try Valor and Sacred Mountain.
I love Valor, Joy, Stress Away, and Peace and Calming! They help me so much get through some stressful times in my life and also have helped my anxiety as well! Love these oils and would love to try Release!!!
valor and peace & calming are my favorite!
We all need a hug, daily! Hugs are better than drugs!
I need peace in my life. (Peace could be a new oil) js
I also need more calmness to renew the mind.
I love Valor and Peace & Calming!!!
I keep Valor in my purse for when I need that extra boost of courage. 😍
My favorite is Stress Away and I love how orange and tangerine make my home smell so clean and fresh! When I have a sinus headache, I diffuse pepperment, eucalyptus, and/or RC to help me feel better! Purification is another favorite!! Love Young Living essential oils!! ❤❤
I use all of the above oils & they truly work as noted. Release is my favorite at the end of the day, to release everything that is negative & no longer needed.
Tranquility or lavender with Northern lights black spruce
Currently love Release for bed time, but would love to try the others!

I LOVE Thieves YLEO and Vitality.
I’m fairly new to Young Living and I’m looking forward to trying some of these blends.
I am new to Young Living and I am
enjoying it so much! Reading this article just gave me some ideas on who to gift these to!
I haven’t had a chance to try any of these yet, but I am loving my stress away, purifaction, and R.C. These make my days easier when life decides to happen for me.
I can see why everyone loves valor! I just tried it a few months ago and it quickly became my favorite.
I like to use Valor and Release. I’d also like to try some of the other oils mentioned here.
I love diffusing release. It helps me relax.
I love to use stress away while I am at work and my daughter and I use dragon time at least a couple weeks out of the month ❤️
I love valor!
Sometimes during that time of the month, I get depressed. This past Saturday was not a good day, I couldn’t focus, smile, didn’t want to socialize with anyone, all I wanted was to be alone and stay in bed. Before I went to bed, I applied a little Frankincense on my face, Progessence Plus on my forearms and the back of my neck, and diffused Lavender, Cedarwood, and Peace and Calming. It was only after a couple minutes that I noticed my body was fully relaxed. The next day I felt amazing, happy, and excited to start the day. I couldn’t believe how much better I felt the next day. Ever since I have gotten my PSK, these oils have changed my life in so many ways!! Thank you YL!!
The only one of theses that I own is Valor which I diffused this morning and applied topically last night. Would love to try the rest.
Have not tried these but would absolutely love to! Started YL a few months ago and would be neat to try some different oils I normally wouldn’t have picked.
I love Release under my rib cage and also diffused. Ylang Ylang is ever so missed if I don’t put that under my neck. Frank grounds me and helps me stay focused. Joy lives on my heart and my diffuser necklace a lot! These oils help me to be a more pleasant person and not focus so much on the little things!
I like Release, Valor for balancing my energy, and Sacred Mountain. I have used all 3 at different times. Release is great for getting rid of negative emotions. Sacred Mountain transports me the mountains and a time when I would hike the mountains with my family in Colorado.
I love Joy and Peace and Calming! As a mom of 4(soon to be 5), I need both! 😉
I love using Sacred Mountain for emotional support!
Valor is one of my favorite oils for release.
I love my Stress Away! Also, Valor, Peace and Calming, and Tranquil are big hits at my house.
I love the Panaway, it helps my neck at night, after all the head tremors from the m.s., plus the scent is soothing to help me rest at night.
I’ve just recently gotten started so lots to see and learn
I love the new Valor. It makes me feel so relaxed and calm. I’m so happy it’s back in stock, it’s amazing!
I have yet to try Valor, but have Valor II, and use it daily. My favorite so far!
I love this company and these oils!!! Valor has been on my wish list pretty much since the day I had my first basics class when I signed up for a starter kit. Connecting with your spirituality and inner self is so important!
I would like to try Sacred Mountain.
I’ve only been using Valor since it was reintroduced, but I am a huge fan already! I’ve also recently started exploring the Feelings Kit oils. Can’t wait to feel their benefits!!
I’m working hard on learning how to effectively meditate for stress relief, most especially at night. Sacred Mountain has been a blessing. The smell transforms my mood and quiets my mind…and I can let go.
I have to say that I am careful about using Release. It sometimes makes me very emotional and Ugly Cry! And I LOVE Gathering! I’d love to try the others!
Frankincense, cedarwood and lavender on the crown of my head gives me a peace beyond anything else :)
Sacred Mountain and Valor are two of my favs! Look forward to receiving Release in this month’s ER order. 😊
Hope to win :) would love to have them all!
Love Valor and white angelica!!!
I just love VALOR! It smells wonderful so it’s my go to oil every time I need to decompress or soothe myself. Can’t wait to try the other ones listed here!
These blends all sound tantalizing
Valor and Frankincense are my favorite oils and I love to wear and diffuse them, but I love all of these you mentioned and use them at different times. :)
Valor is the only one of these I have, but I love it!
Sacred Mountain is one of my favorites to diffuse in the evening, or anytime I need some grounding.
I love diffusing stress away or simply smelling it out of the bottle when things have gotten out of control!! It helps ground me and remember what is important! I’m relatively new to oils but am loving them all!!!
