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 diffusing Lemongrass for a pick me up and a crisp clean scent.
I haven’t tried any of these yet but I would love to! I am just starting out with oils. My go to right now is lavender.
I love to apply Release to the back of my neck! It is truly helping me get thru the day!
Absolutely love valor. Will have to start looking into the others
I just love stress away when I’m feeling the need for calm..but I don’t want to go to sleep ;) I would love to experience any of the oils listed above..love your giveaways.
I absolutely Love Valor II. Not only does it make a tremendous emotional balance difference when we diffuse it in our home, but it has had an amazing physical impact for me. I will never go without this oil again!!! Thank you Young Living and Dr. Gary D Young for the amazing way you are changing people’s lives!!!!
i LOVE MY OILS FROM YOUNG LIVING!!!
Valor is a HUGE favorite of mine!
I love valor! Definitely trying some of the others this month. Thank you for sharing!
Valor is 100% my “go-to” blend for those uncontrollable worries and insecure times life often throws our way. There is something about the aroma that really does the trick. I usually apply a drop or two to my wrists and massage together + behind my ears and neck.
Sacred Mountain is another favorite — we enjoy diffusing this blend in the evenings as we try to unwind from the busyness each day brings. Again, the aroma of this unique blend also provides a warmth and comfort that’s difficult to put into words.
Young Living, you’re so generous to be offering all these Member Favorites as freebies!! <3 Thank you!!
Love all this information on how to use these oils!
Oh my word would this ever be a blessing!! ❤ I am a fan of peace and calming and I just love lemongrass And purification!
I am so obsessed with Sacred Mountain! It’s the best!
Awesome!!
These oils sound great! I bet diffusing them in my office at school would help the students I serve.
I’ve only tried one of these and the others sound amazing
I don’t have many of these blends yet, but when I first started mixing my own, I fell upon a combo I absolutely love for peace & comfort. Cedarwood, sage, patchouli, royal Hawaiian sandalwood, & Jasmine. Yum!
Valor is definitely my go-to oil!
I love the Tranquil roller!
Sacred Mountain is my favorite! I would love to try the oils on the giveaway as well!
Would absolutely love to get this! Right now all I have is lavender to help in those tough times, and would love a little extra boost!
WOW, These sound like amazing oils.. I have to say that I haven’t tried them yet. I hope to be able to soon so that I can share with others. THANK YOU!!!
I love stress away combined with Ylang Ylang, Bergomot, and Tangerine. It is the most amazing and calming scent in the world. My girls love it too.
Thanks for having this! I love Peace & Calming too!
Sacred Mountain is one of my favorite pick me up/put me out blends
Love valor, I have it in a roller on my night stand and use it to calm my mind before bed!
I’d love to win one of these bottles of oils!!! I’ve used valor but not tried any of the others! They all sound like they’d be such a help to my life that now!
Thank for this post! I love the idea that our oils are giving us a “hug”. Right
now my favorite comfort oil is Northern Lights Black Spruce. It is so grounding and rich. And because I was fortunate enough to be one of the few to go to the Grand opening of the farm in Fort Nelson last summer it also triggers many happy memories and a moment in my life that I am truely grateful for. 💖🌱🌲
Would love to win valor. Have never tried it
Ahh so many of these to try! I love my Valor but so many more that I have yet to try! I love my oils and the opportunities they give me to be able to use something so much safer and natural on myself and family!
I’m a newbie! I’ve been looking for different oils or oil blends to try out! These all sound amazing. 😍
Release helped me through a really rough time when I needed to forgive someone close to me, as well as myself. It helped me let go of the guilt and regret I was feeling!
This post is one of my favorites you’ve shared. Thank you, Young Living, for more pointedly expanding on the topic of emotional health. Personally, I have been diving deep into the specific ways that Young Living essential oils offer tremendous emotional support during times of difficulty, as well as in moments of supported inner work and healing from past trauma. Stress Away and Frankincense were the two oils that first opened up my mind and heart to the concept of emotional wellness using “non-traditional” approaches. I love when essential oils are used to supplement someone’s personal journey toward healing.
Inhaling directly from the bottle and diffusing are powerful ways for me to ground myself. Applying topically and speaking affirmations is an even more effective method for training your brain to create those strong scent memories that can be called upon in moments of need (i.e. when you need to calm racing thoughts by grounding yourself back in reality), or for an overall sense of balance and support for a healthy thought life. Toxic thoughts can have a devastating effect on our physical bodies, not to mention our mental, emotional and spiritual health.
I love these blends!
My favorite oil for comfort and peace of mind has been Valor. I also enjoy Sacred Mountain. Soo good!
Valor and Sacred Mountain have long been favorites of mine. Also love Sacred Frankincense
I love my valor, and the way it makes me feel. I can’t wait to get my hands on these other oils!
Love Peace and Calming! It has a slight citris smell that helps uplift combined with an earthy undertone smell that helps relax. Lavender and Peppermint are also great comfort smells.
I hold my tumbs!!! Because i need a lite help too feel better. Feel a bit blue right now!
I love Peace and calming but would love to try valor.
I would love to win! I use my oils every day. I’m using trauma relief to help me thru those rough spots. Thank you!
You named my two favorites: Valor and Sacred Mountain. I’ve been known to pick these two up and sniff them straight from the bottle 😍
I didn’t even know about the Hope blend! Would LOVE a chance for free oils!
This would be cool to win
I really like Valor for times when I need some extra courage! I also use Peace & Calming and Stress Away when I need to relax and unwind. I love the sound of Release and Hope; I will have to try those soon!
I’m going through some serious life changes and these would be wonderful during this time
I needed a little pick me up this morning so I grabbed my clary sage. This is my comfort one. Looking forward to trying the ones listed above
I like to use peppermint for an uplifting scent. I’ve always enjoyed the smell of mint and it brings back good memories.
I love stress away and peace and calming. I’m new to all of this but I can say since getting my starter kit I have not felt this good in years. I’m loving my young living products.
Love Valor
