Basically beneficial conditions applied to yourself and allies. If you’ve played other MMOs, think of it as condition = debuff, boon = buff.

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

a boon is something positive given to you buy yourself or an ally.
the positive is always temporary and is shown above your utility skills (6,7,8,9,0) in a yellow icon. when you hover your mouse over you can see how long its going to last and the rim of the icon is a countdown, giving an indication how long it is going to last.

The positive effect can range for a speedboost to having more toughness or regaining health. that depends on the type of boon.

Arise, ye farmers of all nations
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
