Welcome to the home of SAF®!
The SAF® (Self Awareness Formulas) system was researched and developed by Joseph R. Scogna, Jr. and revitalized by Kathy M. Scogna. SAF® is a system that uncovers hidden mental, emotional, and physical issues and traumas. The method of healing is all made available to the public through books, free Questionnaires, and Practitioners trained in reading the SAF® interpretations.

Groundbreaking research by Joe Scogna into the use of infrared to detect and interpret patterns of heat to uncover hidden issues and trauma is a hallmark of the SAF® system

Where to start?
According to Socrates, true wisdom is knowing what you do not know. “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.”
Knowledge of the Self is the bedrock of SAF®. From the basics to the advanced, SAF® has been used by professionals since 1980! The Self Awareness Formula’s method is a path of discovery to help you sequence what you do know to show you what you don’t know. If you are interested in diving right in, we recommend training to get the full spectrum of SAF® and its use. Learn about the system with our introductory course!
SAF® Training
It’s recommended to work with an SAF® Practitioner to work through the results of the Questionnaires. Along with the many books written by the authors on the SAF® system, we offer SAF® Practitioner training through the Institute for Modern Holistic Alchemy and have a free course for you to learn all about the SAF® system and the Life Energy Research Foundation. The IMHA is our newest branch of Life Energy Publications and is the official SAF® Training website.
You can choose to use SAF® for personal use or for clinical use!

We are dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the writing and research of Joseph R. Scogna, Jr. and publish the currently available books in our store.
SAF® Simplified, compiled by Kathy Scogna, takes the reader through the process of understanding the science of SAF® and has been written to “simplify” the system. We recommend this as a beginners guide to SAF®.
