Summary/Abstract: Mindfulness (awareness, full awareness) in psychology is a multifaceted concept that includes moment-to-moment awareness of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and the surrounding environment, usually combined with acceptance and meaningful experience of the moment. Experiencing each moment, we build awareness within ourselves, which helps us become more resilient, compassionate and connected to ourselves and others. The study aims to investigate the general attitude toward mindfulness among Bulgarians. For the purpose of the study, the Bulgarian version of the general mindfulness attitude questionnaire was used. The study was conducted through an online survey. The study's participants are 100, all of whom are adult citizens of the Republic of Bulgaria. No statistically significant difference was found in the general mindfulness assessment between men and women, students and workers, and people living in a city or a village. The result of the analysis showed a statistically significant difference in the level of mindfulness between the surveyed practitioners who are currently or have practised meditation in the past and those who do not have such experience
