“My dad’s goal, one of his goals, was to make SAF a household name. And it might be a little difficult because it’s a big system that’s very complex, a little heady for a lot of people. But I’m going to do my best to do that exact thing, to bring it to as many people as possible.”
Nic Scogna, president of Life Energy Publications and founder of The Institute for Modern Holistic Alchemy recently had the pleasure of being a guest on the Witchcasting Podcast with Theodora Pendragon. Nic provided fascinating insights into the history and application of Self-Awareness Formulas (SAF), a holistic approach to wellness developed by his father, Joseph Scogna, in the 1970s.
The Origins of SAF
Nic began by tracing the roots of SAF:
“This is my family’s business. My Mom and Dad ran the business. My dad is the Pioneer, the Creator, researcher and writer initially of the Life Energy Research Foundation and the Life Energy Research books that were all about energetic approaches to living, a holistic approach to living, and the science behind it.”
He explained how the company evolved from nutritional approaches to more comprehensive energetic evaluations using questionnaires and infrared technology.
The Science Behind SAF
Scogna emphasized the scientific basis of SAF, rooted in mathematics and physics:
“It uses the language of the universe – math. There are three approaches: there is the physical questionnaire, there is a mental emotional questionnaire, and then there’s the Q24.”
Holistic Approach to Wellness
One of the key aspects of SAF is its holistic nature. Nic explained:
“SAF really does try to approach the whole spectrum all in one, all in one fell swoop. But you know, I can think of some that will address one area and do they do other things in doing that? Absolutely.”
He compared SAF to other modalities like hypnotherapy, NLP, and various energy work practices, highlighting how SAF blends Eastern and Western approaches to science and wellness.
Success Stories and Case Studies
While Nic didn’t share specific names, he did provide an insightful example of how SAF can work:
“They have, let’s say, a pain in their back… I may see that there was some kind of situation where the person felt fear when they were seven years old, fear of moving forward, and now they have a pain in their back. The chain says these two are related.”
This example illustrates how SAF can connect current physical symptoms with past emotional experiences, offering a unique perspective on healing.
The Future of SAF
Nic shared his vision for the future of SAF:
“My dad’s goal, one of his goals, was to make SAF a household name. And it might be a little difficult because it’s a big system that’s very complex, a little heady for a lot of people. But I’m going to do my best to do that exact thing, to bring it to as many people as possible.”
He’s working on new books, including one compiling case studies and another on “time travel,” which seems to be a metaphor for the deep self-exploration SAF facilitates.
