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.

Would love to try valor, I have heard so many great things about it!
Joy is my go-to for uplifting my spirits and putting me in a good mood! Love it!
Thats the most wonderful post I saw in a long time – thank you so much for sharing.
I actually tested the oils already… they really work!
We love Gentle Baby!!!
We go through a
lot of Gentle Baby in our house. Both kids and mom!
I love my hugs!!! Especially from Valor, knows exactly how to lift me up! Been wanting to experience Present Time and Hope also; along with all of the other oil blends!!!
Valor, Joy, and Gathering are must-haves for me!!
Valor, Joy, and Gather are must-haves for me!
Sacred Mountain… just saying that brings me peace… I don’t know these oils yet, but the names & descriptions… beautiful.
I love this post! My go to blend that I diffuse ( Im almost 2 months in , so I’m going by creative intuition) is Gentle Baby, Lavender & Abundance & any fears go POOF! I’m in love
The main oils we use to help give us peace and comfort are Stress Away, Valor and Peace and Calming. I have also been using Release to help my boys sleep easy at night and so far no nightmares on the nights we use it.
I am a “newbie”, I just started with the Young Living Essential Oils but I absolutely love the stress away and I can’t wait to clean with the Theives, I’ve heard so many wonderful things about it!!!
I love Valor esp during kids examinations, it helps them to have the confidence and courage.
I’m brand-new to Young Living, but I think these will be must-have’s for my daughter as she leaves for college!
Peppermint can be diffused. Peppermint in general is great for study time and supports being focused. Stress away is also great as a fragrance to relax.
I have never tried any of these oils, but have been going through a stressful transitional time. I would love to try any of them
I need a hug and to be connected! I could always use a reminder to release what is not mine to carry and to be grateful for the blessings that surround me! ❤️
Release is one of my favorites, use it for my kids as well to help with frustration and anxiety.
I love learning about all the oils. I wish I could just buy all of them at one time!
Hugs are so important to healthy living. I live alone and go days at a time without a hug, these sure would help.
Great list! I need to try Hope and Gathering! Harmony is also an amazing blend. 😍
Joy is my go to for peace and comfort.
Geranium is calming to me!
I have just begun my journey with Young Living Essential Oils. I have not had the opportunity to add these to my current collection of oils but would love the opportunity to have a chance to win these. Not only for my own Wellness but also to be able to share them with my family and my friends on the amazing possibilities. Thank you
I would live to try these oils aside from valor
Im amazed how YL eo’s are color coded for their purpose. I would love… love to try these fabulous oils. All i have is valor
My favorites right now are Peace & Calming, Acceptance & Cedarwood!
I noticed that all the bottles that’s in the list are all purple. There is really a reason for color coding the YL oils. Im just amazed w/ the system and i would love… love to try these oils. So far I have Valor.
I ❤️ Sacred Mountain. I have not heard a lot of other people talk about it.
I love all of these oils! My latest fav is Trauma Life. When I need that extra support in the sadness department. A drop over my third eye and over my heart. Helps so much!
I am new to YL and a skeptic of all things that I cannot see and touch. I’m now such a believer in the healing powers of EOs. So far P&C is my favorite and I have it diffusing in my office all day for my clients, coworkers and me to enjoy!
I am excited to try Sacred Mountain and Hope. This sounds like they will be helpful on difficult days.
I am excited to try Sacred Mountain and Hope. It sounds that these may exactly what is needed when dealing with difficult days.
When the need for grounding, Valor is essential for me to achieve the space within myself that is needed while providing confidence.
My go to oils to address anxiety are peace and calming, stress away and Lavender. Looking forward to try Valor. 😊
Lavender is my favorite.
All these oils (except Valor) are new to me.
Valor is a definite “go to” every evening and we also use Release.
Valor is the only one of these oils that I have tried and I apply it every morning! Sacred Mountain has been on my wish list, I would love to win one!!
I could use a hug right now 😀
I used peace and calming, stress away and lavender to calm my ASD kids. Would LOVE to try these new oils!!
I have used Stress Away, Valor, and Peace and Calming. All are favorites. I’m anxious to try others after reading this blog.
Hope and Peace and Calming have been my mainstays for years. Always looking for something else to try to keep my senses fresh and new.
I haven’t had the opportunity to use any of these oils, but they all sound like they would be wonderful additions.
Valor is new to me. I bought my first bottle last month, now I never want to be without it. It almost takes me to a higher plane, one that is kinder and more accepting. I would really like to win this set of oils because I believe they would help me serve a higher purpose.
Valor is always my favorite.
I love Valor! And am dying to try Hope!
My favorite oils for peace and comfort are Valor, Lavender, and I also love diffusing Grapefruit+Eucalyptus for an uplifting and refreshing feel :)
I’m a family new oily mama and I would love to try some of these oils for enhancing my mood. Some days are just tough to get through with life’s stressors.
So many oils to learn about! What an adventure! Can’t wait to try these!
I’ve tried a lot of the stress oils. This one I need I thk to compliment the others😀
