Preserving the integrity of the Self Awareness Formulas, a system built on decades of observation, study, and practical application within real human lives.
OUR PURPOSE
Life Energy Publications exists to preserve, steward, and responsibly advance the work known as the Self Awareness Formulas (SAF®). This system did not emerge as a trend or product, but as the result of decades of observation, study, refinement, and practical application.
At its core, SAF is a method of self-awareness. It helps individuals recognize patterns within their own systems and engage with them consciously. Our role is not to redefine that work, but to protect its integrity while making it accessible in a clear, ethical, and educational way.
THE METHOD
Self Awareness Formulas (SAF) is a comprehensive system that translates the body's signals into a readable chain of numbers. Each number represents an organ, gland, or energy center. These chains reveal the hidden patterns behind recurring emotions, stress cycles, health challenges, and life experiences.
Unlike modalities that rely on intuition or subjective interpretation, SAF provides a structured, repeatable methodology grounded in observable data. The system draws from physiology, psychology, homeopathy, and ancient wisdom traditions, synthesized into a practical framework anyone can learn.
What makes SAF truly unique is its integration of infrared thermal imaging. By mapping the body's heat patterns, practitioners can visually verify what the chain data reveals, creating a powerful feedback loop between numeric analysis and physical observation.
THE DISTINCTION
Infrared technology is the backbone of what makes SAF different from every other energy modality. While most systems rely on practitioner intuition or patient self-reporting, SAF uses thermal imaging to objectively measure the body's energy patterns.
An infrared scan reveals areas of increased or decreased thermal activity that directly correlate with the energy centers identified in the SAF chain. This isn't abstract theory. It's visible, measurable, and repeatable.
This integration of ancient pattern recognition with modern imaging technology is what attracted researchers, health professionals, and curious minds to SAF for over 40 years, and why it remains relevant today.
THE ORIGINS OF SAF
The Self Awareness Formulas were developed through the research and teaching of Joseph R. Scogna Jr., whose work focused on understanding how unresolved emotional and energetic patterns manifest as physical and psychological stress.
Over 40+ years, Scogna created a comprehensive system that translates the body's signals into a readable chain of numbers. Each number represents an organ, gland, or energy center. His work drew from physiology, psychology, homeopathy, and ancient wisdom traditions, synthesized into a practical, repeatable methodology.
Joseph authored numerous books including The Promethion, Project ISIS, and SAF Simplified, each building on the previous to create a complete body of work that practitioners continue to study and apply today.
His legacy continues through Life Energy Publications, the IMHA training program, and a growing community of certified practitioners worldwide.
CONTINUING THE WORK
After Joseph Scogna's passing, Kathy M. Scogna dedicated herself to preserving and publishing his life's work. She ensured that the Self Awareness Formulas remained available to students, practitioners, and researchers.
Kathy co-authored several books with Joseph, including Junk DNA and Nutrionics, and played a vital role in organizing, editing, and publishing the extensive body of SAF research materials.
Her commitment to maintaining the accuracy and accessibility of Joseph's work laid the foundation for everything Life Energy Publications does today.
TODAY
Today, Nic Scogna continues the family mission through Life Energy Publications, expanding SAF's reach through modern training programs, digital tools, and multimedia content.
Based in Lexington, Kentucky, Nic has built the SAF Aware platform for practitioners, launched the IMHA (Institute for Modern Holistic Alchemy) certification program, and hosts The Holistic Monitor podcast, bringing SAF to a new generation of students and practitioners worldwide.
The vision remains the same: make the Self Awareness Formulas accessible to anyone who seeks deeper understanding of their own patterns, while preserving the rigor and integrity of Joseph Scogna's original work.
TRAINING
IMHA is the official training arm of Life Energy Publications, offering structured certification programs for individuals who want to learn and practice the Self Awareness Formulas professionally.
The Level 1 Practitioner Certification covers the complete SAF methodology, from chain interpretation and organ groups to infrared pathways and operative word mastery. The program is entirely online, self-paced, and designed for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
PLATFORM
SAF Aware (safaware.com) is the digital platform for SAF questionnaires, chain analysis, and practitioner tools. It brings the SAF methodology into the modern digital era, making it easier to generate, analyze, and share chain interpretations.
All Level 1 students receive access to the SAF Aware platform as part of their certification program.
THE HOLISTIC MONITOR
The Holistic Monitor is a podcast hosted by Nic Scogna exploring SAF, life energy, infrared science, quantum healing, and holistic wellness. With over 100 episodes, it's the most comprehensive audio resource for anyone interested in the Self Awareness Formulas.
New episodes release weekly, covering everything from foundational SAF concepts to advanced chain interpretation techniques, interviews with practitioners, and discussions on the intersection of science and self-awareness.
Whether you're curious about SAF, considering training, or have questions about our books and services, don't hesitate to reach out.
