What is this project about? It is designed to connect interested readers with the works of writers, philosophers, teachers, and experts. There are so many amazing people on this planet that are sharing and doing wonderful things. They are inspired, smart, funny, cool, and generous of heart and mind. They truly are gifts to us all. Wouldn't it be nice if we could find them?

This brings us to the purpose of the Enlighten Directory. It is here help people. This website is home to numerous directory websites, the tree trunk if you will, tying them all together. Each directory offers a variety of positive and enlightening material. The numerous directories associated with this project are like the leaves on this tree. Each of them are unique individuals... belonging to, and enhancing the whole.

What does it offer? Now that we've covered the essence of this project, let's move on. You can invigorate your mind, feed your soul, or help change our world for the better. What is your flavor today? Would you like to learn, teach, read, write, compel, help, inspire or grow? Maybe all of it? Whatever your day has in store for you, this project is here to be a positive part of it. Offering readers a quick and easy source to thousands of articles about topics ranging from inspiration and self improvement, to eco friendly and organic living is what we do best. Learn about meditation and yoga, find sources that help you cross barriers, or make yourself available to new levels of awareness. Read about feng shui, how this ancient art affects you, and simple tips on utilizing it. Check out the new science of energy and how it is now proven that all things are connected.

There is simply so much inspiring information available to enhance our lives that it won't fit on one website. Not gracefully anyway. In fact, there are now over 70 directory websites associated with this project that contain literally thousands and thousands of articles! We could brag, but counting them would take to long. They aren't all listed on this page yet, but more are coming soon! Here is a small sample of some of the project's newer directory topics; inspired teachers (what a difference a good teacher makes!), students looking for unique topics and materials for assignments, website development - so that you can easily offer your own unique talents to the world, webmaster resources for the more savvy Internet mogul, and...one of the project favorites... the science of crystals - their meanings - and uses, just to name a few.

How does it work? All of the directory topics are specifically focused on positive thought and energy. If there is one thing we have in common, it is this: We all want to feel better! This project serves as an online information hub offering free publishing of quality material, and promotion for experts in numerous fields. Each article, tutorial, and essay is linked back to the author's work or website for further connection to the information.

This project is free for all. The only financial support received is through the donations of human angels and user purchases via one of our advertising links. All ads are chosen for their life enhancement, earth friendly, and unique product qualities. Advertisers are situated to be supportive of the essence of each specific directory without being intrusive. If you happen to be in the market for what is offered by our advertisers, great! It won't cost you one cent more, but it will help raise money to support this project. Good all around, you get great stuff and at the same time help change the world by supporting Eco Friendly and Life Enhancing Businesses, as well as the Enlighten Directory Project. How does it feel to be part of the solution?

If you are currently not in the market for the products and services offered, that's okay to. The project is here for all to enjoy. There are no logins, sign ups, accounts, passwords, emails, newsletters, and other stuff that can tend to clutter up our lives. Just bookmark the page and come back for more whenever you like. If you haven't tried Stumble Upon, there is a link at the top of the left column. It is a highly recommended service that helps people find whatever it is that inspires them, as well as being an easy and effective solution for storing your bookmarks.

Getting started. The topics listed in the left column of the Home page each represent a link to a separate directory website. The directory selected will contain numerous articles, essays, tutorials, news, and / or reviews that are all focused primarily on that topic. Related or supportive material is generally offered as well.

For example: If it is your desire to focus on the powerful topic of Gratitude today, just click on the Gratitude link in the Home page. You are then taken to a quick loading, simply formatted directory. There you will find oodles of articles, essays, and other material focused on Gratitude. (Tip: Use Site Map links to view the full list of contents in each directory.)

Next, you'll browse through all sorts of publications about gratitude, each from separate sources all over the Internet. If you find one you really like and want to know more, it's easy. Click on the link in the article and viola! You've just discovered something great. That same information might have been listed number 6,312 in Google's search results.

New articles are being added all the time, so check back often. Please remember to take some time out for "aura hygiene" each day. When you shift, the rest of the world shifts along with you.

Peace & Blessings

There are none. Well, they're really more like guidelines. So, here are the guidelines that this project strives for in order to promote an environment of quality and good service.

All submissions are reviewed for relevance, overall useful content, and inspiration. They should be no less than 1500 words or so.

What can The Enlighten Directory Project do for me?
 
Your website link (and / or preferred contact information) is displayed in clickable links that open in the same window. This is rarely done and very convenient for the reader. Submissions are viewed equally and can only earn a higher ranked page placement based on popularity and relevance. (Google Analytics is used in part for determining these factors.) Articles are not removed unless you wish, although page placement may change. You will be notified as soon as publishing takes place and given a link to the directory and page containing your material for final approval. You may submit as much material as you like on as many topics as you like.

For the business person, it's almost like giving free consultations without tying up your schedule. The readers win with free and informative articles, and the writers win with the opportunity to share their knowledge in a neutral environment, generating interest and attention without playing games. Good for you, good for all.

What are the submission guidelines?

Building a solid network is important and beneficial for all that are adding to the enlightening stream of consciousness throughout this planet. If you feel inspired to link to the project, please feel free to do so and thank you for your support. If you like what you see, give us a thumbs up in Stumble Upon. Just do what your heart tells you...we can never go wrong with that.

For publishing integrity, article submissions should be sent in entirety to: articlesubmission@enlightendirectory.com
The words "article submission" should be placed in the subject line of the email or it will most likely be considered spam and sent off into cyber oblivion.

Write a small greeting with information about yourself and your website, service, or the topic of the submission. Include your first and last name (for record keeping purposes only - all information outside of the article or published material itself is considered private and sitting in the proverbial dusty file on a remote, secure server) and website link(s).

This is done for the purpose of authenticating and authorizing the publishing of articles. Should there ever be a question as to authenticity, the archived email is evidence of the submission source.

After the greeting, add the words: "Article Submission Follows" on a separate line. All material submitted for publishing will follow below that line exactly as you wish it to be displayed in it's entirety.

This Project is building a helpful Internet data base and information resource center by sharing positive, enlightening information and knowledge in a user friendly manner. Check us out and see if you agree. Oh, by the way...if you do happen to like what you see here, take a moment to give us a thumbs up or kudos email. It sparks more energy than a good cup of organic coffee!

Readers may nominate people, websites, or stories for publication as well. If there is something that has touched your heart or you find helpful, send a nomination email with a link so that the project may shine an honor spotlight in that direction. There are many beautiful souls doing amazing things on this planet and we are ready to hear more about it!
