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.

StressAway is my go to oil for calming my world. I wear it for my personal scent almost every day. So delicious! My next is vetiver, which makes me feel like I am in the mountaines, with its earthy scent. I’m going to try Sacred Mountain today, and I have Gathering on order. I use several oils every day, and use my iTOVi scanner every other day to see exactly what my body says it needs.
Love Release and Valor. Also Peace and Calming.
Surrender often lets me release the tension of disappointment, and I love Hope for the rainy days that make me feel down. I often wear White Angelica in my YL diffuser necklace when I need something to carry me through a difficult day.
Being rather new to YL I would love to try these oils
I would love to have this collection. My friends and families names should be written on the lable of the different ones. I would so share these jewels.
I am a big fan of Valor. My husband is a “glass half empty” type of guy. He needs reassurance and confidence. I diffuse Valor in the mornings before work and often have him smell it.
Valor is my go to after a rough day.
LOVE all of these blends!! I apply valor on my diffuser bacelet EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!!
Sacred mountain is often in my diffuser and Release is applied over my liver every day!! these blends are amazing!!!
I la la la love Young Living Hugs 🤗 I receive them everyday, all day. I call it; my self-love gift. ❤️ Although my journey has just begun with YL, I just get so excited to receive new blends of hugs. Im feeling so thankful. ✨
Joy, Peace & Calming, and Stress Away all give me hugs when The mood becomes tense or if I anticipate being in uncomfortable situations.
I use Gathering when I meditate. Love it,
I use Trauma Life, Valor and Peace and Calming every morning to start my day. If I need extra emotional support, I usually reach for “sunshine in a bottle” by liberally applying orange oil.
My daily routine is Stress Away and Joy every morning…an absolute must! I use Valor for courage and confidence when I am in meetings, giving a presentation or just being around difficult people. I diffuse Orange or Lime and sometimes mix in Clarity, Stress Away, or Joy in my office which helps stay focused and calm. At bedtime, I diffuse RC or Raven for snoring or Lavender and Cedarwood to help sleep. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Young Living Essential Oils and I am so amazed at how they work….they really work!
I use Gathering essential oil when I meditate, sometimes mixed with Sacred Frankensence to stay centered on what is going right.
I use drop of Joy on my heart and a drop of Valor on my wrists! Keeps my emotions in check and keeps me calm.
Would love to try these.
I am new to YL and would love to add any one of the oils to my daily use and to share with others.
I’m new to Young Living, so I haven’t tried any of these yet. I’d LOVE to win to experience a YL Hug for myself. 😍
Valor and Sacred Mountain have become my ‘Go to’ oils for the past few months as stickey family situations have occurred. Besides my prayer time spent with Jesus, who provides all things, Sacred Mountain gives my thoughts focus and Valor helps me be brave and calm. I am always amazed at the effectiveness of all of Young Livings productsM. Thank you.
I love peace & calming, bergamot, and cedarwood! Stress away is diffused at work, and teachers LOVE coming into my office!
Patchouli is my go to for calming. I love the smell, so it’s very soothing for me. Sacred Mountain is in the diffuser every night as it’s another one that is very calming and relaxing. I’m getting Valor for the first time in my ER this month. It should be here any day now. I cannot wait to try it!
I love the mini lessons here. It is so nice to see what the oils will do. I love Peace and Calming and Valor or Stress Away when things are upside down. I find Valor to relax me and make me feel better.
I’ve always used Peace and Calming but I would love to try these.
Peace and calming :)
I love Release and Valor!
I would LOVE to add these oils to my collection!
After a long day of negative people at work, I diffuse Release at home while I’m making supper. It helps me release leave my worries behind and focus on what’s most important…me and my family! During the day, when I need a little “pick me up” hug, I will put a drop of valor on the front of my neck, it gives me an awesome little reminder of who I am and who I want to be.
What perfect timing it is to see this blog post! I’m so fortunate to have all of these blends with the exception of HOPE. I will be adding that to my order ASAP!! I love that I can always count on young living for the hug that I need whether it be emotionally, physically or spiritually 💜
~Namaste’ 🙏🏻
Valor has been my go to for calm. Also use Stress Away (at work) and P & C after bath time. Love the hugs that my oils give me…
I need to start using valor more for my anxiety and depression. I would love to try all of these oils, they all sound so comforting!
I love Young Living Oils. Gentle baby and peace and calming have been my night time friend In helping me relax and sleep like a baby.

I diffuse Valor at bedtime when I am feeling overwhelmed with building our house
Thank you for the recommendations. We all have those kind of days and it’s nice to have a few different choices to turn to!
Hugs to all reading this! At a time, when everyone is so stressed and anxious, this is a perfect natural solution! I know Young living would greatly improve the mood in our home!
I like to try all the different oil combinations. I love the citrus oils.
I find diffusing Vetiver and Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood soothing when emotional times are especially tough. For ordinary, unwinding, I’ll mix Vetiver with Lavender or diffuse Frankincense and Lavender.
Valor is my go-to oil for courage when I need it most! I really want to try Hope and Present Time after reading this post. Thank you!
Everyone needs some kind of HUG!!!
Fun post! I use a majority of these, but dont have Hope, yet. Will have to pick some up! My favorite use of Valor was when my son started Kindergarten and was nervous about school the first few weeks. It was comforting to him to apply it each morning and talk about being brave. :)
Thank you for talking about this. We have an alcoholic father-in-law staying with us and I need all the strength and courage I can get right now. I appreciate the break down of the oils and how to use them. Right now, I’m using A LOT of Joy, Stress Away, and Peace and Calming. Going to start adding these to the regimen.
I really love diffusing Sacred Mountain because my husband likes it too. Valor is becoming a new favorite of mine as well.
I use the Valor for many things. Love all the Young Living Essential Oils!
I could use some Hope right now:)
Lavender & Stress Away!
Thank you for sharing these ideas. Young Living is simply the best!
I use lavender and copaiba every night before I go to bed. In the morning, my go to oils are stress away and frankincense. Just got Valor and am looking forward to using it.
I have been using Young Living for just a year now. I love the oils I have been trying. Thieves has been a Godsend when I have been sick. It would be a blessing to try some of these oils.
I use Valor almost ever morning to give me confidence throughout my day and I just love the smell. Another favorite of mine is Believe. I love this oil especially when I need to believe in myself and all that I am doing. 🤗 I love my YL oils!
Release is a favorite in my home and is well used! I will frequently use that with lavender at night when the kids need some help sleeping. Valor is a favorite of mine as well- I love diffusing it with cedarwood and northern lights black spruce!!!
oh how I need these “hugs” !!
