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.

  • #FRANKINCENSE in HAIR #HAPPINESS in HEART a testimonial. Ok guys, so who knows what Frankincense is? Before I experienced this BEAUTIFUL BLESSING for what I now believe to be the FIRST TIME this year, my knowledge of this #essentialoil was pretty common yet limited. You see, in compliance with my strong Irish/Italian background, I was raised in the Catholic Church. It was there (and come to think of it only there) that I ever encountered it. We heard about it in the Bible 'Frankincense & Myrrh'. When used in tradition, Catholic priests will typically burn during specific ceremonies. That is until now. Recently, I attended a meeting in which, I was taught to anoint the crown of my head, with a drop of #YOUNGLIVING Frankincense. Suddenly it was like a veil had been lifted, and suddenly I understood the power of my OWN WOMANHOOD. I thought SPIRITUALITY. I felt FREEDOM. It smelled of REBIRTH & LIFE. Most important to me, I felt my FEMALE ENERGY counterpart, and with male energy together they created PERFECT NATURAL HARMONY. Yes, Putting ONE DROP into my little 'space bun' on top of my head did all this! THIS MAGICAL OIL GIVES ME PEACE!

  • Super new to YL , loving my journey.Bought diffusor necklace. Simply love the Lavender and the aroma it has when I diffuse it. Made my own serum with it and Frankincense for my dark circles. So far good results and good enough to being smile on my face.

  • I have been in and out of the hospital since January due to a rare disease I have. Oils have helped me so much and I am so glad I decided to join the oil family.

  • I love to use Stress Away or Breathe Again for times I need extra comfort, or in really trying emotional times when I need an uplifting scent.

  • While my collection of oils is small- I use Stress Away to help when I am feeling overwhelmed. Would love to add a few more blends to my routine.

  • I'm fairly new, but my husband is hooked on having lemongrass diffusing when we go to bed. Sometimes I add a couple drops of peppermint to brighten it up. I really want to try Valor!
