I
live in the small town Mezen near the White sea. My hobbies are a philosophy of
Yoga, travels, photo and many others. I have written a book "The Modern Yoga".
Have read this book you can know about my beliefs. I like to travel in a wild
nature and every year go marching for 200-400 kilometers. I publish articles
about my travels in our regional newspaper "The North". I have made photos
since 1980 year and have made several interesting exhibitions recently. I swim
all the year, especially I like to swim on winter in ice-hole and during an
ice-floating. Please, read some articles about me.
After Exhibition Into Ice-hole.
The new exhibition, brought from Mezen was opened in Archangelsk in the day of the big orthodox holiday, in
christening.
However, its new only for the inhabitants of the regional centre. But for
Mezencitizens the photo works by Fyodor Safonov (which are submitted to
the Archangelsk public) are familiar. The exhibition is called "The Beauty
beyond the Mezen outskirts" and it is demonstrated in the regional public
library named Dobrolubov.
Here it is necessary to add that Fyodor would not be himself if he redeemed in
Christening. At once after the opening day in Dobrolubov library (which was
visited by participants of Mezen friendly association "Winter coast") Fyodor
tested an ice cold water of the Northern Dvina, plunged in tradition in an
ice-hole.

"Au-u" and Warts are Gone
I
should like to tell how with the help of purifying of respiratory
gymnastics of yogis I made my hands clean of warts. At first I did so: some
times I had several deep breaths and then sharply exhaled through the nostrils -
for purifying a nose. After that I did mantras: made a deep complete breath and
exhaled with a sound [a:]. So I did 3 times. Then exhaled with a sound [u:],[m]
and [a:- u:-m] - 3 times too. Soon warts have ceased to grow and then
disappeared at all, but earlier there were a lot of them on fingers of hands. I
was going even to visit doctors for help.
Very often I also use such a way of breath: an inhale - through the
left nostril, delay, exhalation - through the right nostril, then on the
contrary. And so I do 4 times. After that I meditate. That's a pleasure!
I follow a healthy way of life. I engaged with yoga science.
Already for 8 years I have been studying a work of Patanjali "The Yoga-sutra". I
bathe all the year in the river. Once a week I eat and drink nothing, and once a
year I go without any food within 7 days. I observe orthodox fasts. Sometimes I
run in the morning. I like to train with dumb-bells, ski and ride a bike. I love
to take a steam bath and after it run to the snow or to an ice-hole. It is very
healthy! In winter I make joggings wearing only sport shorts and trainers. In
summer I play football, table tennis and like fishing. Sometimes I get for some
days to the forest, where I live alone in a wood hut on a coast of a lake. To my
mind, that is a good means of spiritual perfection. In autumn I collect
mushrooms, berries, paddle down the river.
I am 36 ears old and work as a vet doctor in a regional veterinary
laboratory. Everyone, who thinks him to be a yogi and follow a healthy way of
life, studies a spiritual literature, are invited have correspondence with me.
