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.

Release and Stress Away are my go to blends for situations when I need a little more clarity and comfort.
I’m new to YL and I love my starter kit. In our home we have ADHD and anxiety and someone who is very negative and cranky 😀 I’m not mentioning any names, but it’s not me!! I use Stress Away daily. It gets me thru the day. These oils are in my wishlist. I can’t wait to see the difference in the atmosphere in my home. If I could win these, I could get started in a less stressful home sooner. Please please please let it be me!!!
I love adding three drops of lavender to one drop of Joy in a diffuser to sleep. It puts me out. I’ve recommended it to others who have insomnia and it works for them as well.
During a time of anxiety and stress in my life, Valor was my saving grace… I would be so very excited to win this amazing collection of oils….
Sacred Mountain and Valor are to of my “go to” Oils when I need emotional support. Believe is another fave; all 3 are incredible and smell amazing!! ❤️
Love reading all these ideas on how to use different oils. I’m going to try Valor today for the first time. Thanks for sharing!
I’m just getting started, but I’ve been loving Stress Away. Peace and Calming is already on my ER order for next month. I’m thinking Valor will be added soon….
These were so helpful. All listed in one place.
Love Valor! Would really like to try some of the other ones in the post though :)
New and soon-to-be-improved version of me looking forward to Valor and all future shipments!
I heard Valor is the must have. I hope hubby’s AS spine will benefit.
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.
Peace and calming is my go to
I can’t do without Stress Away, Lavender and peppermint.
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
I like to use Stress Away to settl my mind or calm me. Also I like Jade Lemon to give me a little boost if feeling a bit down.
Oh my, I would have to say Valor is a go to and Peace and Calming. I always have P&C on my diffuser necklace and as a roller bottle in my purse. Wear Valor prn as needed. Would love to win all these goodies!!!
I use release and my destiny. love the unique aroma.
I use relesent with my destiny. love the unique aroma
Release is one of my favorite oils. I use it with clients as a preparation for sound therapy. The results are magic!
Would love to add these to my collection. I use stress away all the time for long days and after an unusually hard day.
I have currently been using Stress Away on the back of my neck, Valor on the soles of my feet, and Release over my liver daily. Working on some major stuff lately, so I can use lots of hugs.
I’d love to try these hugs in a bottle!
Love Valor. Use it topically every day.
I just bought my starter kit a few minutes ago but Valor and Release sound like great options for me!
I diffuse lavender and cederwood to relax me when stressed!
The combination of northern lights black spruce and lavender is a very peaceful scent for me! So fresh and calming.
Valor is a must have for me. It makes me feel confident and ready to take on the day.
I’ve been using YLEO for 3 months now and I love them. Valor was my 1st oil I bought after my starter kit. It has helped with anxiety and my nightly snoring!
So excited to be part of this group. There is so much to learn. So much to share. God is good all the time.
Just started using YL oils in April and I am hooked. Would love to try these with my family. 🙌🏼🙏🏻
I love using Valor for those days when nothing will go right. A couple of drops in my diffusing necklace and I can conquer anything.
I absolutely love Sacred Mountain. I have blended it with Surrender and those are my go to for my hug in a bottle.
I am so glad valor is back in stock it has been greatly missed. I have also been using grounding and release along with stressaway. We are moving for the first time in 28 years and they are really helping with all the emotions that go along with this.
We love to use Valor at the start of the day to help provide confidence to meet the day’s challenges. Our kids even use it before sporting events. We enjoy Stress Away or Peace and Calming later on in the day to help unwind from the day’s adventures.
Would absolutely love to try these. Just started using Young Living in April and really been trying to slowly introduce new oils in our lives.
So thankful I found this post. The past year has been a roller coaster mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Now I know which blends I need to get and for what purpose.
Would love to try it!
Stress away all the way!! My grounding in a bottle! Literally within minutes I feel eased!
I think I will hug away today!
This sounds wonderful. I think I need each of these! Been a hectic week! Looking forward to getting into YL more and more :)
Valor, Peace and Calming, and Joy are my go to oils when I’m in a funk and need a pick me up. I like to wear valor on my wrists and temples, and Joy over my heart. Often I’ll diffuse peace and calming so everyone in the house benefits from it! Love young living!
