Often it is not danger itself that frightens us the most, but the panic we feel when faced with it. Thus, if you find yourself in such a situation, before taking action, remain still for a moment. Do not move or speak; close your right hand and breathe deeply, all the while linking yourself to heaven. By doing so, you will manage to gain control over your cells, and you will then be able to do what is necessary to save yourself. But above all, do not move; because giving over to an uncontrolled movement is like blowing up a dam: unbridled currents will surge through you, and you will not be able to save the situation. We have known people to throw themselves out of a window in such circumstances, or into a fire. Faced with danger, remain still for a moment and link yourself to Providence. It is then that you will feel peace take hold within you, the essential condition for awakening the forces that will save you. You will feel these forces, because they are always present within you, but you must give them the right conditions in which to manifest.
