Peace and Calming and Valor were two of Young Living’s blends that I was most curious to smell personally. When I got my first kit in 2020, I tried both and immediately fell in love with Peace & Calming. Smelling the pureness sold me on the fact that not all essential oils are created equal and YL was something different. Years later, it is still one of my top 3 favorite essential oils.
Peace & Calming is one of Young Living’s most popular blends, and for good reason! This blend of Tangerine, Orange, Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, and Blue Tansy will surely become a favorite in your family to relax the body and calm emotions. This oil can signal overtired and overworked body systems that it is a safe space to release stress and invite in a sense of calm. It is also one of our favorites for supporting sweet, restful sleep!

PEACE AND CALMING & EMOTIONS Peace and Calming is an incredible tool when it comes to emotional health! The Blue Tansy in this blend is specifically supportive of calming the Central Nervous System, whether you need to calm down from a busy day, intense emotions, or set the stage for sleep.
This oil is one of our favorite ‘tantrum tamers’ – especially for kids! When you need it, simply apply Peace & Calming to the chest and back and help your little ones ground themselves. For some children this is through gentle touch, massage or a light back scratch (it helps them reconnect with their bodies). You can also try snuggling them up in a blanket for somatic grounding. Other children like movement, so finding a swing or holding them and swaying back and forth. As you do these movements, help them inhale Peace & Calming, take deep, cleansing breaths, and possibly repeat a soothing statement to them that will calm and ground them (I am here. You are safe. I’ve got you.). Continue until the child feels calm!
When using oils for deeper emotions, consistency and stopping as much in the moment as possible are key. Grab Peace & Calming and breathe deeply when you are feeling out of control, out of balance, disconnected, or overwhelmed. For when you feel out of control and out of your depth, focus on balance and healthy boundaries as these can be the opposite of out of control. Using Peace & Calming on your stomach, focusing on the mantra “I am content” or “I am safe” can help quell strong desires to be in control. Control is something we often seek subconsciously and don’t notice until we feel a lack of it. Peace & Calming can be a huge help in this area, especially when used with intention and frequency! When you feel unwanted or unlovable, Peace & Calming can help. Often, feelings of deep unease, instability, and moodiness are born from this deep false belief about ourselves. Often our hormones become out of balance when we feel deep sadness and unease. Also, imbalanced hormones can cause these sad feelings and beliefs, creating a cycle that just keeps feeding itself. Peace & Calming can help with both the feelings and hormonal balance! Diffuse, inhale and apply this oil as you work through these emotions.
