What is SAF?

A Structured Method for Understanding Your Life Patterns

Self Awareness Formulas (SAF) is a grounded system developed by Joseph R. Scogna Jr. that translates your body’s signals into a readable chain of numbers — each representing an organ, gland, or energy center.

This chain reveals the hidden patterns behind recurring emotions, stress cycles, and life experiences. Instead of guessing, SAF gives you a structured way to see what’s driving your current reality — and how to shift it.

The Process

How SAF Works

①

Complete

Fill out a SAF questionnaire or undergo an infrared scan. Your responses generate a unique chain of numbers — your energetic blueprint.

②

Interpret

Each number maps to a specific organ or gland system. The chain is read as a sentence — revealing patterns, codes, and programs active in your life right now.

③

Transform

With awareness comes resolution. Understanding the source of your patterns gives you the clarity to release old energy sequences and restore balance.

“This system will blow your mind! It is light years ahead of any other form of therapy, and I highly recommend it to anyone who really wants to release old patterns.”

— Louise Hay, Hay House Publishing

“Perhaps the most sophisticated and highly evolved (mapping) system is that originated by Joseph Scogna. Based on the intensity of blood flow to twenty-three specific areas, computerized correlations with corresponding sets of organs and mental and emotional traits yields a complex personality inventory. I was impressed by the profound insights into the relationship between my own bodily functions and the psychological and emotional issues that emerged.”

“People on the SAF program are understanding and realizing their own potential. Doing the program has helped my clients (1) to be more aware of how their thoughts are affecting their health, (2) to understand
how the environment and other people affect them, and (3) to see new opportunities and new ways to create happier lives for themselves.”

“SAF results in much deeper, clearer, and more accurate understanding of the mental/emotional causes for most life and body problems than would have ever been possible from any other system of which I am aware.”

“I was curious about SAF and attended a seminar, during which Joe Scogna interpreted my girlfriend’s chain of numbers. The chain meant nothing to me until he asked her, ‘Why would you have a toxic buildup of ammonia in your system?’
How could he know that? She had been cleaning a bathroom with ammonia for a few hours before we got to the seminar! At that moment, I realized his system was far above any method I had ever seen or heard about.”

“On a micro level, in our lifetime as well as what we’ve inherited through our genetic line, we’ve developed certain survival mechanisms and behavioral patterns that helped us cope with life from the time we were helpless children. We may give in too easily, or we may have sacrificial behaviors. We may be coded to be perfect, coded to suppress our expressions (so we keep it in), or coded to blame ourselves for family issues. By using the self awareness techniques of SAF, you will be able to catch and change a pattern before it becomes a problem.”

“We can truthfully say that any person who has spent time on the SAF programs reports great benefits in their life. This is because long-repressed traumas and patterns of behavior have been exposed through the symptom awareness process. Most importantly, the participants are the ones who made the connections and the necessary changes.”

“I wish that I had known Joseph Scogna! Polymath, Renaissance Man, original thinker, synthetic visionary, compassionate prophet – all these descriptors and more come to mind and heart as one ponders the wisdom in these pages. S.A.F. Simplified is at once, metaphysical cosmology, philosophy of life, ethical system, psychological manifesto, and self-help guide.”
