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 have seen lots of posts asking about the winners and can't find them either. I have found the giveaway section of this post (directly after the info on Hope) but there are no winners posted. The winners were to be posted on Wed and today is Sunday so it should be there. I even went searching for another blog post dated Wed July 26 (in case it was posted on the Wed blog) but there isn't one that I could find. I don't understand why it is so hard to lookup who has won. If someone on my downline has won, I would like to congratulate them. If anyone out there has found this info...could you please copy it into a reply to this post? Thanks a lot.

    • Thank you for posting the winners. It is a great prize and I am happy for them to win such lovely oils!!!

  • I'm going to try out the Release to see if it helps with my current situation. Also, is there a difference between Sage and Clary Sage oil? And finally, are there ANY Young Living reps in Kona, HI?

    • Hello! Sage emits a strong, spicy, clarifying, and uplifting aroma when diffused. It has been used traditionally for its clarifying properties. Clary Sage has an herbaceous aroma that is believed to create a calm and relaxing environment. These oils also have different constituents. Thanks for stopping by!

  • I hope its not my browser or my computer but I'm not able to see the winner's under the giveaway rules. :( Could you announce the winners again please? I've read the previous comments and I've checked several times on the blog post under the giveaway rules.

    Thank you for taking the time to look into this. I greatly appreciate it!

    • Hello Elizabeth. Sorry you had trouble seeing the winners. This is what is written on the blog post under the Giveaway Rules.

  • I am sorry, but one should not have to keep asking for the list of the winners for this post. The winners names are not listed on this page, at the end of the giveaway terms section, nor were they posted on the YL FB page where the post was made on this. One should be able to easily find the winners and apparently, based on how many keep asking, those names do not appear anywhere. PLEASE post the winners names. Thank you.
