What is SAF?

SAF stands for Self Awareness Formulas. It is a collective work of questionnaires and health evaluations, books, computer programs, and training materials written by Joseph R. Scogna, Jr. SAF® is a registered trademark.

How is SAF different from other methods of self awareness?

SAF is an enlightening system of thought, a tool to help us find and understand past traumas, and how these might still be affecting us in the present. SAF can quickly and effectively pinpoint when a trauma occurred in our life, as well as the nature of the event.

How can SAF find our traumas?

The Self Awareness Formulas (SAF) define certain organ and gland systems, which hold recordings of what has happened to us in the recent and distant past. Everything is recorded - specific emotions, conditions, actions. When we identify which organs are stressed the most, this will tell us what emotions need to be processed.

From there, we can discover what "code" was created from the time of childhood. These codes may have worked for us as children but as we grew older, the emotions and actions that once helped us survive in our family became obsolete. These are often impediments to us as we enter the adult world and try to forge new relationships at work and at home.

For this reason, it is absolutely essential to discover and become aware of our codes and patterns. In the future, you may find yourself in a similar situation, but after working with SAF you'll be able to say, "Wait a minute, this isn't working for me anymore." You will have spotted a behavior pattern before it became a problem.

With SAF, we can learn to unravel the confusions of our past and put the puzzling pieces back together so these make sense.

How does SAF work?

The Stress 120 Questionnaire for emotional issues is an excellent method. It is a subjective test; it works on the basis of input. It will present your viewpoint, your reality as you see it. So, there are no right or wrong answers. There is no "better way" to answer the questions.

Your answers will be put into an order of priority called the SAF chain of numbers. These numbers relate to the specific organ and gland systems, emotions and conditions as mentioned above. The SAF chain will take what you do know about yourself and help you learn what you don't know about the causes and earlier events that created the situation you find yourself in today.

How effective is SAF?

It is precise and accurate. Those who use SAF to work with people say it helps them get to the main issues in a few minutes where previously it might have taken a year of work.

Is it necessary to be a practitioner to use SAF?

No. Our motto is Growth Through Self-Knowledge. Everyone is, or should be, interested in increasing self awareness! Reading SAF Simplified is a great way to start and we encourage all readers of SAF books to become certified in Level I. Our students work with practitioners until they are proficient to work on themselves and others.

What types of practitioners use SAF?

SAF is a science; we have our own certification processes. Certified SAF Practitioners and Coaches work in such fields as naturopathy, acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic, psychology, energetic healing, sound therapy, nutrition, addictions counseling, stress management, marriage and couples therapy, art therapy.

What practitioners say about SAF:

"As an SAF practitioner, I've been able to get to many causal factors with my patients in areas where nutritional and other protocols should have worked but didn't. Giving clients conscious awareness of aberrant behavior patters helped them resolve health issues that have been untreatable for years. I've seen how SAF was able to break down barriers held in place by the client unconsciously."

-Dr. Chris Morris, Naturopath

"SAF really IS the answer because it incorporates the entire person- body, mind and spirit. The program cuts to the core and the solution is apparent."

--ET, California

"The chain owner and I were both blown away by the chain. He related to everything I said about the whole chain and was amazed at how I could know so much from a few questions."

--LD, Australia

What students of SAF say:

"Holy Cow! Just spent two hours with Jim today and gotta tell you it was like going through about 50 psychology sessions. I feel about ten thousand pounds lighter! Really amazing. Thanks so much!"

-- BP, Los Angeles, CA

"I had a great session today. I was very apprehensive, especially considering what I knew I would have to discuss via the chain. I never once felt the practitioner was judging me....I realized I've been the one judging myself! I am delighted to be doing this work. I've made huge strides in my life....and my career....bringing me clarity as to the exact direction I should take.."

--FM, NYC
