Journeying sounds in two segments; a long (36 min.) journey and a shorter (12 min.) one that also includes the chanting of sacred invocations.  The clash of cymbals at the beginning of the long journey aids in the "rupture of plane" necessary to release the soul from the body for the ritual journey into the realm of spirit beings. Both the long and short journeys have a return beat to guide journeyers in tracing the steps back to their bodies.
