Hug in a bottle: An essential oil guide to uplift and inspire

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.

  • I must say there are so many oils I love from YL and so many I have yet to experience but I can never settle down at night without my bedtime oily protocol of peace & calming on my jawline (it keeps me relaxing and no clenching of teeth while sleeping) then lavender behind ears, cedarwood and peppermint in diffuser and tranquil on back of neck - plus my bedtime foot rub of coconut oil, stress Away, lavender and cedarwood and I'm off to lala land - but I would LOVE to experience a hug from any of these oils in the giveaway

  • I use cedarwood every night in my feet. I diffuse lavender. I can tell a big difference since I started this routine. I sleep like a baby!

  • So many extreme changes are going on in my life now so I am diffusing JOY morning and night in my bedroom! It calms, soothes and is actually helping me to sleep. The oils are a huge blessing in my life!!! Would never want to be without them!

  • I love Valor! It wasn't love at first sniff, but I'm now on my second bottle in just four months with YL.

  • I would love to add all of these oils to my YL collection. I am so grateful to Young Living for their amazing blends and oils!

  • I just learned about Release essential oil blend. I'm going to be diffusing this oil in my house a lot.

  • I am new to Young Living so haven't had the opportunity to try these. My favorite oils for relaxing so far are lavender and orange or Peace & Calming. I'd love to try any of these!

  • Being fairly new to yl oils there are a few I've tried a few so far and love them.
    Stress away to diffuse is spectacular!!
    Valor either put on my wrists and smell or duffuse helps me feel grounded and strong.
