You can’t bring peace to other minds until you emerge from the conflict. If your mind is not present, you are on the battleground and you will not be able to assist the others that you see.

Presence will lift you up above the battleground so you can detach yourself from the fray. When you are in the middle of everything you can’t help anyone, even yourself.

Today, try to picture yourself floating above the scene you think you are in. Observe it from a detached, neutral position. Let the events unfold but don’t think of the events as positive or negative.

From above the battleground you can stay present, and pull those you see fighting there up with you so they too can feel what peace and presence feel like.
