Welcome to Holistic Hands of Light!

Hello everyone! Welcome to my first post.

I am Crystal Fogle, the owner and practitioner at Holistic Hands of Light. I was raised and currently reside in North Texas. I started my business driven by a passion for assisting others in their self-healing journeys. As a practitioner specializing in Craniosacral Therapy and Energy Healing techniques, I have personally observed the incredible potential these alternative methods possess.

Why am I so passionate about this type of work? Well, in short answer, my life experience.

My Personal Journey

Like many others, my early life was challenging. Childhood trauma forced me to grow up fast, well before my teenage years. I enjoyed a carefree childhood for only about half of my upbringing. Although I knew what was happening in my life was wrong, I did not know what to do about it, let alone how to heal from it. So I just kept on living my life and dealt with each event as they came, as most of us do. "Just keep moving forward", right?

In my early adulthood, I faced another life-altering traumatic event when I lost my only sibling in a car accident. Such trauma from death profoundly affects individuals. Around this period, I started my career as a Massage Therapist and embarked on a path of alternative healing. A friend introduced me to Reiki, and I am convinced it helped me emerge from the difficult situation I was in at that time. To be truthful, my mental state was not good, but Reiki offered a peace and clarity I couldn't find anywhere else. Years later, I reconnected with Reiki, this time as a practitioner. Reiki is where my own personal healing journey began and even now I still use Reiki in my everyday life. Throughout the years, I've gained a deeper understanding of Reiki and its ability to clear negative energies, including those from past traumas, that were lodged within my body.

My introduction to CranioSacral Therapy came from a close acquaintance many years ago, however, at that time did not feel drawn to it. It wasn't until recently that I was reintroduced to CranioSacral Therapy and its potential to eliminate negative energies, known as "energy cysts" by The Upledger Institute, from the body's tissues. After experiencing it firsthand, I was fascinated! Over the last few years, I've devoted time to studying these techniques and I know I will continue taking Upledger's amazing courses in the future. CranioSacral Therapy's Somatic Emotional Release (SER) techniques assist individuals in overcoming the negative impacts of past injuries or experiences. This therapy is incredible for anyone looking to link their physical body to the emotions underlying their trauma. Releasing these can alleviate various ailments. The benefits of CranioSacral Therapy are remarkable. Everyone should consider giving it a try.

Now, I have finally fulfilled my calling to Shamanic Energy Medicine. I began my journey with Shamanic Energy Medicine years ago with a single session at a psychic/holistic fair. I found this one session to be a big change for me on an energetic level. So when I found out a family member of my closest friend did this type of work, I reached out to see what I could do. I received all of my Munay Ki rites prior to 2020 and received my first Shamanic Journey. Even though I felt called towards this type of healing, I hesitated. All of my self doubts crept in... Am I ready? Will I be able to do this work? What if I fail at it? What if I fail my clients? Then as a very close friend began to slowly die from cancer, I made the decision. This friend was given a terminal diagnosis for the first time in her many years of battle. I spent that last year helping her learn to eat healthier as well as how to be okay with taking the much needed time for herself as well as her family. Throughout her final year, I also offered Reiki, and she often expressed how much she appreciated it because it temporarily alleviated her pain. However, in her last months, I felt I could have done more. Those of us who remain after losing someone close often experience this feeling. These emotions prompted me to take a leap of faith and enroll in the intensive Shamanic Energy Medicine course. I am glad I made this choice and am incredibly thankful for the self-healing and lessons I gained from the course.

My Passion

The majority of topics I plan to cover in this blog will focus on the alternative modalities I am passionate about and personally support. I will also tackle specific questions regarding these modalities as they arise in client sessions. Occasionally, a question requires in-depth research and a thoughtfully crafted response to be adequately addressed, so why not include them in a post?

This is my mission and my passion! I am here to assist people in healing themselves. I will serve not only as a body and energy worker but also as a guide. Healing begins within!
