Elsah practices biodynamic craniosacral work, which allows for the person's cranial wave and dreambody to direct the session. It is very still, subtle and deep. Hugh Milne writes, in his essay on the ancient origins of craniosacral work, "The Lakota Sioux shaman Black Elk said, 'When I am called to go to the sick man I have a different (i.e., special) feeling, it is like being back on the mountain. There is some fluid in me which I have drawn from the air and I do not mind walking a great distance. When I work on the patient it does not tire me out at all and it makes me very happy. But I do not always know how things are going to be.' "
