Time to Celebrate with Marquee Hire
by theadmin on Apr.13, 2017, under Marquee Hire
YOUNG DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR!
We’ve had some great news at Trafalgar and JF Marquees in the last few weeks. Our Managing Director, James Morris, has been nominated as Young Director of the Year at the IoD (Institute of Directors) awards. Firstly, this means we get to attend a glitzy awards ceremony (well we’ve got to get our priorities straight!), but becoming a finalist in such prestigious awards means a whole heap of other positive things for our business too.
Recognition
With the IoD awards there was a stringent application process which included a written entry and an interview. To become a finalist is great recognition for a job well done by our Managing Director, James and shows that the company is on the right track.
Publicity
Well you are reading this blog, aren’t you? Becoming an awards finalist is a great good news story for us to share among our clients, suppliers and associates, and we’ve already had some lovely messages of congratulations. We think it also increases our client’s confidence that they have made a great choice in choosing us for their marquee requirements.
Motivation
The announcement of James’ nomination was a great morale boost in the office and has really spurred us on to make 2017 a fantastic year at Trafalgar and JF Marquees. Knowing that your work is recognised as some of the best by an organisation like the IoD is a great accolade.
Reflection
Taking part in any awards nomination process is a great way of reflecting on how far your business has come and where you want it to go next. It has helped us formulate ongoing plans for the business and reflect on some of the most positive things in our business, as a whole.
Celebrate
It is very easy to forget to celebrate the wins in our businesses, so an occasion like this is a great opportunity to recognise that. All that’s left to do now is make sure that tux is dry cleaned before the finals on the 17th May!

Emotional Detox through Bodywork

Yoni Massage London by Tantric Journey
What is a Yoni and what is a Yoni Massage?
The Yoni is the Sanskrit term for the vagina and the female reproductive system. Tantra celebrates a woman’s Yoni in order to highlight the significance of it in the cycle of life. The foundation of life was believed to begin in a woman’s Yoni that was a chain reaction to all life energy in the universal system. An imbalance in the woman’s Yoni was thought to reap many ill effects in her life as well as the interconnected energetic system around her.
Therefore the ancient practice of Tantra and Toa engineered a massage (bodywork) to bring about an energetic balance in the woman’s Yoni. Sexual energy is the basal energy for life energy to flow through – birth being the initiation of life itself. Therefore this massage was performed on women to release their negative energy in the form of Amrita. Amrita is the Sanskrit term for Female Ejaculation. The female ejaculate contains negative emotions of a woman in the form of emotions. This is only further validated by the recent research done by Dr. Emoto Masaru called The Messages in Water.
Having understood the immense benefit of a Yoni massage; Mal Weeraratne proprietor and founder of Tantric Journey School of Healing and Awakening started Yoni massage classes London to educate the public. Tantric Journey aims to create vast awareness about the vital necessity of Emotional Detox through Bodywork (Yoni massages) to make the public understand how important is it to remove and release negative energy from the body.
The current day and age brings about a lot of disconnection within oneself due to the lifestyle, perception and psychological exposure. Processed inorganic food; busy work schedules; broken homes; stressful environments; constant break outs of violence; media exposure; lack of lifestyle knowledge; drug abuse; sexual abuse; physical abuse; emotional abuse; psychological abuse; detachment from family and a demanding lifestyle contribute to this disconnection and emotional abyss that manifest as physical experiences and path in one’s life.
Therefore the retain the ‘zen’ within, despite the criticism of practicing a ‘medieval’ treatment of vaginal massage London; Tantric Journey continues to provide its care and love in other parts of the world too.
Tantric Journey Yoni massage classes in London have become popular through word of mouth and experiences that annual workshops are held in Tao Garden in Thailand. The workshop receives participants from various countries for a week filled of positive energy and negative emotional release. The workshop is called Emotional Detox through Bodywork that is ideal for men, women and couples.
The Yoni massage in London by Tantric Journey concentrates on the vagina and hence why it is called the vaginal massage in London by Tantric Journey, as it focuses on the female prostrate which is also called the G Spot. The female prostrate was disregarded until recent research that showed all women do have prostrates that produce female ejaculate and this prostrate is the G – Spot.
Therefore this is how the Yoni massage is applicable for a male too as it focuses on the prostrate to release negative emotions.
A yoni massage maintains the energetic balance of the body that allows to produce positive thoughts, positive emotions and positive life decisions by shedding the negativity in the body. The body’s valence is changed from negative to positive improving overall health (emotional, physical and psychological = mind, body and spirit)
Mal Weeraratne Bodywork Healer

Healing with Mal Weeraratne
Mal Weeraratne is an alternative healer who masters in the art of Emotional Detox through Bodywork. He is the Founder of Tantric Journey – School of Healing and Awakening and he is the British pioneer of Emotional Detox through Tantra & Tao Bodywork.
Mal Weeraratne has just released his first book Emotional Detox through Bodywork which was released in May 2016. The book talks about his expertise as a Bodywork healer for almost two decades, his techniques and perspective on emotional healing.
With the rise of researches on emotions and physical health Mal’s work is revolutionary as it has been able to bring about healing to over 3000 women. Despite its unconventional methodology that is often criticized there is ample information and data to validate and solidify the healing model created by Mal Weeraratne.
Mal’s work has gained quite a momentum that it has expanded it’s teaching to Thailand in unison with the Tao Grandmaster Mantak Chia. Mal takes Tantric Journey on an annual Emotional Detox retreat to Tao Gardens in Chiang Mai.
Mal Weeraratne is a born Buddhist from the island of Sri Lanka and having had a Buddhist upbringing enjoys the Tao Garden environment to practice his sensitive and soul soothing workshop. He believes nature plays a vital role in healing and greenery is quite capable of absorbing the negative energy that a client is trying to release.
Emotional Detox through Bodywork is Mal Weeraratne hard work and years of study for the sole intention of healing the lives of people who are in dire need of healing.
Emotional Detox through Bodywork is a well sought after alternative emotional release therapy by men, women and couples. Men like to learn the art of Emotional Detox through Bodywork to help their partner, women like to learn Emotional Detox through Bodywork heal themselves of trauma or cleanse themselves of negativity. And lastly couples opt to adapt Emotional Detox through Bodywork into their relationship to develop intimacy, trust and love.
Mal Weeraratne has encountered a lot of negativity in his path to healing as the treatment model is often referred to as ‘unconventional’ as the knowledge of emotional healing is still growing. Through the years all physical ailments has always been traced back to a lack in physical or biological malfunction that the idea of emotional dysfunction causing physical discomfort is a brand new concept in healing. But the reality of healing portrays the fact the mind is a major factor in healing; if the mind that controls the emotions is calibrated to a healing frequency the body heals automatically.
Having encompassed abundant knowledge on the reality of healing Mal Weeraratne studied in depth about emotions, the body’s energy systems and ancient techniques that mastered emotional healing.
Despite the negativity having seen the realm of happiness his clients enter after his treatment, Mal decided to start his school of Healing and Awakening called Tantric Journey to make the public more aware of emotional healing and to teach his techniques to others who wish to heal.
