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™ 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Sacred Mountain is my most favorite. It immediately transports me to my favorite mountain in Estes Park. <3
I have the original valor and absolutely love it! I haven't gotten to try any of these other "hug" oils discussed here. I think that Sacred Mountain is in my near future....<3 Thanks for the info!
Since I received my kit 4 years ago, Valor is my go to. And I share it whenever I can. It keeps me grounded. Sacred Mountain is my 2nd oil, great for mediating.
I would love to win a YL hug!
LOVE Valor of course but some of our favorites are Peace & Calming, Cedarwood and I love Orange + Black Pepper for a uplifing blend.
I love Lavendar..........it is my go too for almost EVERYTHING! It always helps to calm down and relax. Valor is another one I use quite often, I've used sacred mountain too but haven't tried the other aforementioned oils. Would LOVE to win and give them a try!
It would be lovely to try so many oils to help me deal with challenges I'm going through at this time.
I appreciate all of the support I receive from other YL members and have learned even more from reading these posts.
I love Valor and Peace and Calming together! I diffuse this while I sleep! I sleep through the night!
Stress Away and Peace & Calming are my two favorites when I need a "hug!"
Valor has been an amazing support for myself and my daughter. It has quickly become my favorite oil blend from Young Living. I would love to diffuse Gathering for our home church on Sunday evenings.
