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.

I use peace and calming to help my kids wind down at bedtime and nap time. I don't have pets but I have put some on my neighbors and friends' pets during storms and holidays when they have lots of visitors.
After the day I have had I could really use a hug. My aunt in a nursing home got her hand stuck in the elevator door, her daughter was already in the hospital with an illness and my best friend is having big issues. Although none of these things are directly about me, I got the three calls related to each episode. All while I was in the middle of a class. Stress away, and aroma ease well it did help some but I think I needed a bigger kick. So 12 pm headed to bed with my diffuser on full blast long day
I love hugs and I love Young Living Essential Oils. I have Present Time, Release and Valor. Other than these I use Peace and Calming, Stress Away, Gratitude, and Frankincense to give me that sense of being hugged. I love sharing hugs and I would love to share these essential oils.
Just got Gathering and LOVE diffusing it at night when we are all home together :)
Valor every ER order. Stress Away is my favorite hug in a bottle! Hope I get to try a new one for free!😘
I am new to Young Living and have been so impressed with the quality of the oils. I use gentle baby at night in the diffuser, it is so soothing and peaceful. I have had Valor on my wish list for a while. I love to try different combinations. Stress Away is another one of my faves!
Peace & Calming and Cedarwood in the diffuser with a drop of lavendar at night. Stress Away when at work. Thanks for the great ideas...must try these out!
In love with White Angelica and Joy. Love to fall in again and again with Young Living.
I love all these oils but release is my favorite because I have a lot to release and let go of!
Frank always does it for me ..helps me feel more grounded and allows me to be in touch with myself . I love valor too for the same reasons pretty much ! One oil I would love to try is sacred mountain !
