Self Awareness Formulas®
SAF® is a structured method, researched by Joseph R. Scogna Jr. beginning in 1975 and in continuous use since 1979, for identifying the patterns behind what you experience: physically, emotionally, and energetically. See your own chain in a guided session, or train to read it yourself and help others.
Where to Start
SAF Simplified is the beginner's guide to the whole system, written to make decades of research make sense in one sitting. Recommended as the first book for every new reader.
What Is SAF?
SAF® (the Self Awareness Formulas) is a structured system that translates the body's signals into a numerical chain. Each number corresponds to specific organs, glands, emotions, and life experiences, revealing the hidden patterns driving your current state.
"SAF® is one of the most fascinating discoveries in the area of body-mind research since the development of kinesiology."
SAF® produces a unique chain of numbers from the Stress-120 questionnaire, or, in person with a practitioner, from an infrared scan. These numbers aren't random; they tell a story. A trained practitioner reads this chain to identify where pressure, stress, and unresolved patterns are stored in your body.
The result is a clear map: what's happening, where it originates, and what modalities can help resolve it.
Curious what your own numbers mean? Making a chain is free with a SAF Aware account, and you can look up your Lead number with our free Operative Chart.
Not medical advice. Not diagnosis. SAF® is an awareness tool for understanding personal patterns.

From Kathy's Desk
For over a decade Kathy wrote a running column on SAF, self-awareness, and the questions readers actually asked her. We're bringing some of that writing back, alongside new material, on the blog.
