EXPLORE RETREATS

Mindful Living involves mind, body, and SOUL.

An online and in-person space for guidance, renewal, and conscious evolution.

Buddhi is a Sanskrit word that means, in the Highest Awareness.


Engaged Awareness liberates you from: mental habits, reactive emotional patterns, outdated belief systems, and recurring life cycles such as new relationship-same issues, or addictive behaviors.  


The Inner Journey meets past habits and patterns head-on, embraces lessons learned, and releases the past.   


Rooted in ancient wisdom, held in modern presence—led by Melinda Johnston, your coach, guide, and spiritual director.


Open the door to Inner Clarity, Spiritual Alignment, and Life Balance.

Buddhi Institute's programs blend spiritual wisdom, neuroscience, and embodiment practices to cultivate deep-rooted clarity and sustainable life balance that endures.


This isn’t therapy.  At Buddhi Institute, we don’t diagnose—we Illuminate. 


This is the path toward higher consciousness.  It's a mindful evolution that awakens you at a soul level.


Conscious Evolution, Mindful Living & Spiritual Alignment

A weekly newsletter with insights about Mindfulness, Wellness, Healing , Growth, and upcoming events.

What is Consciousness Coaching??

Within each of us is an Inner Knowing—a Higher Realm of Consciousness—waiting to be unlocked.

  Living solely within the confines of intellect keeps your self-perception tethered to past experiences or constantly preparing for potential future outcomes. The Thinking Mind judges these moments, shaping a limited sense of identity and potential. 


Consciousness Coaching cultivates:


  • Mental clarity—free from confusion and limiting thought loops
  • Emotional calm—freedom from reactive triggers
  • Physical self-care—a renewed connection with your body
  • Spiritual harmony—a gentle, authentic relationship with your Soul Self

  

This transformative shift of consciousness naturally frees you from mental and emotional patterns that keep you feeling stuck, past traumas, and addictive struggles.

🌺 A Message from Melinda

Founder of Buddhi Institute | Spiritual Philosopher

Your Guide for Conscious Evolution


True healing begins where surface solutions end. The path I walk—and teach—is grounded in ancient wisdom and spiritual science, passed down from enlightened masters and integrated through decades of immersive study and embodied practice. 


As a Master in Vedic Wisdom & Sacred Integration, I guide others not to escape discomfort, but to alchemize it—to meet life’s lessons with clarity, depth, and reverence.


This work asks for more than momentary relief. It’s the inward spiral of Conscious Evolution: a journey that dismantles reactive patterns, untangles emotional cycles, and awakens the deeper intelligence within. 


Through this intentional practice, we cultivate Mindful Living—not as a trend, but as a spiritual discipline—and build a foundation of Life Balance that endures.


Buddhi Institute is your sanctuary for this transformation. Through guided coaching, sacred immersions, and seasonal retreats, here you will experience spiritual insight into embodied wisdom—where integration becomes your personal illumination.


✨ This is your invitation:
To rise into next chapter of YOU with presence, sovereignty, and grace.
