靜觀 (也稱正念)是一種經過科學驗證的改善身心健康的技能。它起源於古代的智慧，而現代的靜觀干預課程，特別是MBSR、MBCT, MBCL/MSC, IMP 等, 是基於證據和科學的。
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Professor Emeritus of Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, and founder of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program MBSR in 1979 defines Mindfulness as "the awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally, in the service of self-understanding and wisdom"
靜觀是有意識地、不加批評地、留心當下此刻而升起的覺察，藉以瞭解自己，培育智慧與慈愛

If resource allows, taking a teacher-led Mindfulness-based course has many benefits, you will be guided by a professionally-trained teacher with whom you can discuss your meditation practice and problems, and the possibility to meet fellow learners and form peer practice networks. One of the founders of MBCT, Mark Williams explains, the MBCT (and its predecessor MBSR) programmes follow a structure that includes a combination of class-led and home-based meditation practice that has been proven successful in scientific research. Taking a teacher-led mindfulness course also prepare you for more advanced practice. Intensive meditation may pose risks and should not be attempted without professional guidance. All certified MB teachers adhere to Good Practice Guidelines of respective countries' professional mental-health institutions/associations.

如果資源允許，參加教師指導的靜觀課程有很多好處，你將得到一位經過專業培訓的教師的指導，你可以和他/她討論你的冥想練習和問題，還有可能認識同學，形成同學的共修網絡。MBCT的創始人之一馬克-威廉姆斯解釋說，MBCT（及其前身MBSR）課程遵循的結構包括課堂引導和課後冥想練習的結合，這已被科學研究證明是成功的。參加教師指導的正念課程也為更高階的練習做準備。高階的多日密集式冥想可能會帶來風險，在沒有專業指導的情況下，不應嘗試。所有經過認證的MB老師都遵守各自國家的專業心理健康機構的良好實踐指南。
