This prayer is recited for a person who has trouble sleeping. After, the patient will sleep like a baby.

This is the main prayer that Baba Liuba recites when she is healing a patient by means of the egg ceremony.

This is an example of an egg ceremony or a healing ritual with an egg.

This is an example of a woman’s prayer. Baba Liuba holds the patient’s hands during the prayer.
