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 diffuse cedarwood, lavender, and peace & calming nightly as I sleep. I love the scent of cedarwood and my body immediately relaxes when I smell it now-my body knows it’s bedtime when I smell it!

I love Valor for helping with my sore muscles in my back. It a wonderful oil that makes you feel so refreshed!
Stress Away is a staple, I actually use it for perfume. Peace and Calming is used on those days when work has been a bit difficult. Bedtime is always Lavender!
This is a great giveaway!! I love Grounding, Gratitude, Peace and Calmimg, Evergreen Essence and Patchouli!! 😍🌿❤️💦
I LOVE the smell of Release….let alone the “hug for liberation”! It has become my daily perfume. :)
These spirit oils sound absolutely amazing and I would be forever humbled to be able to experience just one of them…these oils are proving themselves life changing…
I love my oils and am still building my collection but my favorites are Valor and Joy!
I diffuse Frankincense and Myrrh daily. The fragrance makes my heart sing.
After reading the description of Sacred Mountain~I definitely want a hug from Mother Nature!
I would love to win this, and share with others my love for oil’s. I cant always get them paying off medical bills right now, but praise God my health is going in the right direction….
I love to diffuse Sacred Mountain, Cedarwood, Palo Santo for peace and calming in my home to keep me grounded in peace and serenity. But those are just a few I use I also use Sacred Frank and Frank…..
I love Sacred Mountain, Cedarwood, Palo Santo for Peace and calming effects in my diffuser or inhalation via my hand diffuser, ;).
I have been using oils for a year now. I have so many favorite oils to list. Works sooo good. Love my oils.
I love valor and peace and calming when I have had stressful day. I diffuse cedarwood and peace and calming at night. I would love to try Hope, Gathering, and Present Time. I will add to my “wish list”
I love Young Living Oils. I have them everywhere, in my home, office, car, and work. I enjoy being able to share them with others!
Gosh, I just LOVE my oils! But my “wish list” is SO long! LOL I have Valor on my order being processed TODAY! I use Peace and Calming ALOT, especially on my diffuser bracelet! Stress Away is one I started with, and Release and Forgiveness I have used to rid myself of the negativity I had been dealing with. I deal with Fibromyalgia and I am on no prescription meds at this time because I am dealing with it more naturally, thanks to Young Living ess. oils!!
I’ve used Release to help with the grief of a friend’s passing.
I’ve used Release to help with the grief of a friend’s passing. I also like to use lavender and valor.
Frank and Lav is my go to for self, family and friends. I give it to everyone. Frank is life repair in my book, physical and emotional and spiritual!!
I love Valor, Frankincense and Peace& Calming. And I love Patchouli because in my opinion, it makes everything better!
Wow, never thought of using Valor for an End if Day calming oil, I’m usually using Peace and Calming with lavender or Stress Away and Lavender. I’ve only used Valor when I’m going to have a big day or going to do a live video. Will definitely have to try the others since Everyone always can use a Big Hug! Thanks much for this info.
I would love a young living hug 🤗 I am new to young living and love learning about the great products.
I am always looking for specific oils to enhance the workshops I give and several of those mentioned in today`s blog are perfect for various topics I offer. Always nice to be considerate of all six senses; and Young Living is my go to when I honour the sense of smell. I use PEACE AND CALMING and JOY often and look forward to adding PRESENT TIME to my Gratitude workshop.
I love Valor, one of my go to favorites! I would love to try some of the other oils mentioned in this article.
I love Valor, stress away, Joy, and Peace and Calming!
I could use a young living hug right now 🤗 I am new to young living and love learing all the benifits to your products.
My go to is Joy. No matter what’s happening, I find a find a little Joy always makes me feel better and more positive. One drop on my palms and then making a scent tent, I take 10 deep breathes. Voila! I’ve got a new attitude.
Wow, see? I use Valor when I need that encouragement to make it through the day or if I have a new client to see our even if I’m posting a video on FB about our products. Never thought about using then after work and a hard day. I’m usually using Stress Away and Peace and Calming and Lavender when I feel that tension is getting the better if me. I didn’t even know about these other little beautiful bottles with Hugs in them. Always Learning something New!
I have Sacred Mountain and Release! This article shares new ways I can get the full benefit of them. I also want to win . . .
I keep stress away with me at all times and I really love diffusing release with a little bit of orange at night. Valor and Sacred Mountain are two more I use a good bit both in the diffuser and on my diffuser jewelry!
Thank you for sharing!
I’m so excited for my first bottle of valor to arrive this Saturday! My children and I have been through a difficult and traumatic 3 years.
I’ve been using Sacred Mountain bar soap in the shower for months – what a comforting scent!!
I also diffuse Release at night, when sleep doesn’t come so easily or I’ve had a few nights of stressful sleep. I’m not a fan of the scent on its own, but it works!
My “go-to oils” right now, for calm & comfort are the combination of Stress Away and Lemon, and straight-up Peace and Calming. I keep a 10 oz roller with me at all times, for myself & my kids, for when life gets overwhelming. It’s wonderful!
Valor helps me feel like I can overcome adversity. Lemongrass, Cedarwood and Stress Away in the diffuser help with a peaceful night’s sleep. Hope, well it’s as beautiful as its name. Gratitude helps me to be mindful of my many blessings and not focus on my struggles. Believe held me be able to hang on in faith that everything is working out just as it is intended to. And, last but definitely not least, White Angelica is applied to my shoulders often every day to keep me above the negativity line!
I love stress away to calm my nerves. I also wear Hope in my necklace diffuser to help remain optimistic throughout the day.
I’m excited to try these oils.
I’m so excited to try Valor
I have Valor and Sacred Mountain in a roller together. Absolutely love the combination together. It is my go to for all of life’s stressors including stress headaches and back pain.
I diffuse lavender and lemon…
I need Sacred Mountain in my life! Oh, and all the others too :)
I’ve used lots of single oils and made a few blends of my own but I’ve never tried any of the pre-blended ones. Valor and Sacred Mountain sound great. I’ll definitely be adding them to my list.
I love Valor! I would love to try the others listed. Oils are such an important part of emotional health!
I think they all sound wonderful! I’d love a chance to smell them too!! I love my oils. My favorite is lemongrass I use it all the time. And frankincense is right up there too!
I would love to receive this combination of essential oils! I’ve just recently started my Young Living journey and am ordering new oils monthly thru Essential Rewards.
What an amazing giveaway! I love cedarwood and lavender!
My “calm” blend was made because I only have starter kit oils so I used a sample of Peace & Calm, then I added frankincense and lavender. ❤️
I would love to win these! Some of my favorites are Lavender, Stress Away roll on, Stress Away to diffuse, and Joy!
Looking forward to trying some of these. I love to spend quiet time meditating on all I have been blessed with. Diffusing some of these suggestions will intensify these thoughts, I’m sure. Thank you Young Living
Gentle Baby has been known to calm more then just babies in my house. It seems to calm the dog and hubby as well.
I recently diffused Humility, Patchouli and Spearmint and it instantly stabilized my mood. I had just gotten some bad news, was hormonal on top of that but this combo diffusing in the room saved me from becoming an emotional wreck! Plus it smelled like heaven in my room. Highly recommend!! Outside of that Lavender… always good old lavender topically keeps me feeling calm and peaceful.
