Things you can buy from a Souq

What is a Souk and Where Did it Originate?

A souq was originally an open-air marketplace. Historically, souqs were held outside cities at locations where incoming caravans stopped and merchants displayed their goods for sale. Souqs were formed whenever a caravan or caravans arrived. Since this might be infrequent, souqs often extended beyond buying and selling goods to include major festivals involving various cultural and social activities. Any Arab Souq may serve a social function as being a place for people to meet in, in addition to its commercial function.

Later, due to the importance of marketplaces and the growth of cities, the major locations of souqs shifted to urban centers.

In tribal areas, neutrality from tribal conflicts was usually declared for the period of operation of a souk to permit the unhampered exchange of surplus goods.

The spelling souk entered European languages probably through French during the French occupation of the Arab countries Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia in the 19th and 20th centuries. Thus, the word “souk” most likely refers to Arabic/North African traditional markets. Other spellings of this word involving the letter “Q” (sooq, souq…) were likely developed using English and thus refer to Western Asian/Arab traditional markets, as British colonialism was present there during the 19th and 20th centuries. In Modern Standard Arabic the term al-sooq refers to markets in both the physical sense and the abstract economic sense (e.g., an Arabic-speaker would speak of the sooq in the old city as well as the sooq for oil, and would call the concept of the free market السوق الحرّ as-sūq al-ḥurr).

As in markets generally, prices are commonly set by bargaining between buyers and sellers.

The term is often used to designate the market in any Western Asian city, but may also be used in Western cities, particularly those with a Muslim community.

DIY Marquees are so durable they withstand any Weather

DIY Marquees specialise in all types of marquees and pop up party tents for sale as well as an extensive range of marquee linings for sale, heating and flooring.

Small marquees for sale are by nature easy to erect but still highly durable and able to withstand nearly anything the British weather can throw at them.

DIY Marquees are renowned for their affordability and quality, they do not compromise on quality of their products. Read below about the superior quality of their marquee covers.

Duracoretex PVC

How do I know the quality of a PVC marquee cover? This problem arises as the only generic way of describing PVC is by weight – 380gsm, 500gsm, 650gsm.

The problem we have as a supplier is that there are many many different qualities of PVC within these weight bands. We could make our marquees cheaper by using a different quality (but same weight) PVC for example.

The problem you have as a hirer/user is how do you know what quality of PVC you are buying?

After many many years of supplying marquees using different versions of PVC we are now exclusively using Duracoretex PVC, this is because it has proved itself to be the most durable of all of the materials we have used across all weight categories.

The strength of the initial core material gives the fabric its strength with Duracoretex PVC often outperforming heavier weight non-branded PVC.

So, is all non-branded PVC unsuitable? Certainly not. But the quality of our marquees is how we have gained our excellent reputation and this is not something we wish to risk. Hence, we use Duracoretex PVC.

If you’re looking for a marquee to buy then look no further than DIY Marquees the professionals in selling Marquees. They offer a variety of different ranges and models meaning they have a marquee to suit any budget. Whether it’s a sit-down formal wedding marquee or a party on a patio they have the marquee to suit.

Need Company? Rent a Friend with Dukes of Daisy

I recently got made redundant from my job and was quite worried about what I was going to do next as I know it’s not easy to get a job these days. I have my own place so was also worried about how I was going to pay the rent and while I was figuring out what benefits I may be entitled to, I decided to look for a fast and easy way to make a bit of extra money.

I had never really thought become female escort before as I had heard lots of bad things about it and the thought of doing it myself was scary! I also thought that escorting involved being intimate with the client which is absolutely not what I would ever do! However, a friend of mine mentioned that they were doing escorting with Dukes of Daisy and that they had had four bookings so far and each time it was a very pleasant and respectful experience and unlike other agencies out there, Dukes of Daisy was purely about hiring someone to go to something like a social event etc with anything intimate happening, actually being against the rules! I thought this was such a good idea and was willing to give it a go after the recommendation from my friend.

So, I signed up for 6 months and paid a small fee to cover administration costs, a profile was created for me and then I waited to be chosen by clients. At first, things were a bit slow but then I got chosen three times over a period of a week and a half. I decided to go for each one and I went to three different places with the clients.

One was a restaurant for a meal with the client’s works colleagues, the second was an engagement party and the third was a wedding. Each time, I was very nervous but they all turned out to be fine and the clients were all very respectful. I got paid a good amount of money and overall was very happy with my experience. I have been on the site for three months now and have had around 12 bookings so far which I’m happy about. I also like how flexible this work is and the staff at Dukes of Daisy are always very helpful and pleasant to deal with.

To anyone thinking about doing this kind of work, I would say to make sure you find a company like Dukes of Daisy to ensure you have a pleasant and professional experience!

Needing company? rent an escort with Dukes of Daisy for safe, pleasant and non sexual companionship

Meet Mal Weeraratne Founder of Tantric Journey

Mal Weeraratne – author of Emotional Detox through Bodywork- talks about the true meaning of Tantra.

‘No examination of the art of Tantra would be complete without first examining its history’, writes Mal Weeraratne in his fascinating book ‘Emotional Detox – through Bodywork.  In a chapter entitled, ‘ Ancient Practice, Modern Uses’, Mal Weeraratne goes on to explain that ‘Tantra started over 5,000 years ago in India.  From India it went to china and they call it Tao’.

Mal explains that Tantra was originally practised as a path to enlightenment through sensual energy called Prana. This is very powerful and when circulated around the body leads to a positive, energised state; indeed it invigorates the entire body. Harnessing sexual energy is a very powerful technique that is an essential tantric technique; and as Mal describes, ‘familiarity with Tantra can help a person enjoy life to the fullest’; this is because harnessing sexual energy rejuvenates and improves physiological, emotional, psychological and spiritual health.

Tantric Journey- School of Healing and Awakening was founded by Mal Weeraratne in London as a result of Mal’s development of a unique and pioneering treatment method that combines, Tantra, Tao bodywork along with specialised trauma release methods that are capable of releasing trauma at cellular level in the body. Mal Weeraratne is considered a pioneer in the field of emotional detox through bodywork and has treated thousands of clients from around the world with his unique treatment method:  Tantric Journey.

Mal Weeraratne works as both a therapist and teacher from his Tantric Temple in Hammersmith, London, but also teaches at Tao Gardens in Thailand. During his training sessions Mal has witnessed many positive transformations, but for those who cannot attend one of his courses his book is an excellent self-help guide, in which Mal reveals how all women are capable of experiencing emotional freedom and ecstatic bliss, the book covers everything from information on understanding how the female body may be activated to deepen ecstatic states; yoni massage, detox diet; strengthening the pelvic floor, negative emotions, healthy orgasm, healthy male ejaculation and so much more.

Emotional Detox through bodywork is packed with practical advice and tips and readers will learn emotional trauma can block pleasure and cause disease; the difference between soft penetration and deep sustained penetration, including how to avoid premature male ejaculation; the secrets and history of female ejaculation; techniques for awakening and yoni massage; and will come to understand how emotional trauma can block pleasure and cause disease. The book is an excellent starting point for those who wish to improve their health and well-being or wish to understand how negative emotions are stored within the body.

For those who wish to seek professional help to release negative emotions and experience full release /emotional freedom from stagnant negative emotions then a session with Mal or one of his fully qualified Tantric Journey therapists is recommended. Mal Weeraratne has over twenty years experience in his field and offers one-to-one therapy sessions, 7 days per week in London, via appointment.

LINGAM – MALE PROSTATE MASSAGE

Lingam massage therapy is an ancient Tantric tradition that is now available at Tantric Journey School of Healing and Awakening in London. Lingam is the Sanskrit word for the male sexual organ, known as the penis in the West.  The term lingam loosely translates to mean the “Wand of Light.”

1

In Tantra and Sacred Sexuality, the Lingam is respectfully viewed and honoured, as a “Wand of Light” that channels creative energy and pleasure. Massaging the lingam is seen not as a sexually orientated act, but as a means of healing and promoting male well-being.

Mal Weeraratne founder of Tantric Journey in London has trained female therapists in Tantric Journey, which is not just Tantra, but instead, a unique blend of holistic body therapy that incorporates both Tantric and TAO techniques. Therapists trained in Tantric journey techniques offer a professional and caring service that includes lingam massage in dedicated Tantra Temple in central London.

Orgasm is not the goal of the Lingam massage; instead the goal is to massage the Lingam, testicles, perineum and Sacred Spot (prostate) externally, allowing the man to fully relax, surrender and learn to receive. The Lingam Massage allows the man to experience many health benefits that include:

Many men that receive a lingam massage London Tantric Journey Temple have reported that they have felt improvements to their health and well-being and that receiving Lingam massages has helped them to overcome:

  • Infertility
  • Low sex drive
  • Fear of intimacy
  • Difficulties with touch
  • Fear of being physically intimate
  • Lack of trust in relationships
  • promiscuity
  • Lack of motivation
  • Low self esteem

Receiving a professional lingam massage at Tantric Journey, London is a an opportunity for the man to immerse himself into personal well-being journey and awaken his sexual energy. The lingam massages offered by Tantric Journey Therapists focus on clearing energy, blockages and promoting healing/ well-being.
