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 am relatively new to Young Living Essential Oil usage, and what I will say, right her and now is: What Took Me So Long?!?! :) I'm diggin' Peace and Calming right now, and my Tea Tree oil!

  • I love using Valor and Sacred Mountain when I need a minute to reset during the day. I apply Valor to the nape of my neck and Sacred Mountain behind my ears and wrists.

  • At a desperate financial point and my dear friend suggest I ready up on YL. The words hit home. "Hope" is what I need and "Valor" for the courage to follow through. Thank you YL for being there for me 😉

  • My favorite oils for peace and comfort is the amazing Peace and Calming oil. I love all the oils and have been wanting to get Highest Potential for a while now. What a great giveaway. I will keep my fingers crossed. Lol. Thanks
