Hug in a bottle: An essential oil guide to uplift and inspire

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.

  • Lavender has been a blessing for me. I've used it in the diffuser, on my pulse points, my feet, inhaled from my hands. I just started with YL and I'm still learning about my "oily good stuff". I've tried Valor and also love it. There has been a change in my feeling so much better. I've used Digest. I'm wanting to use more oils.

  • I feel like I want a young living hug! Love these oils. I want my son who hikes to try sacred mountain!

  • Be interested to try some of these. I usually stick to simple oils like lavender or as a massage therapist I use the ortho ease massage oil.

  • So my most favorite oil is northern lights black spruce. I ordered it by mistake. Well best mistake I ever made. I use it for every thing. It's part of my favorite sleep blend. I use it when I need to feel relaxed. Imagine laying in the woods on crisp clear cool night looking up at the sky and seeing the northern lights. That's how this oil makes me feel. It's amazing I suggest you add it to your must have list if you don't already own this wonderful oil.

  • I have been using Valor since I heard Jordan Schrandt talking about all the things it's good for. I would like to try Sacred Mountain and Present Time.

  • Cedarwood is very calming to me. I love the woodsy scent. I have always wanted to try Sacred Mountain. Super excited!

  • I love valor and am excited for an opportunity to win some blends on my wish list!!! I think harmony would be awesome for our "friendly" family fun night when we play cards or board games!!!

  • I like to use Stress Away to calm or comfort me. If I need a little boost in my mood I also like to diffuse Jade Lemon
