Protect Your Energy

Zahabiyah A. Yamasaki

Publication Date: April 21, 2026

Make vital shifts in how you use your energy―and how you rest―by understanding your nervous system through gentle guidance and practices.

“This book is a balm to my nervous system.”—Alex Elle, author of After the Rain

We live in a world of more―work more, earn more, do more―but as Zabie Yamasaki writes, “The truth is sometimes what our nervous systems need is less.” In Protect Your Energy, Zabie helps us connect to our inner wisdom to make the powerful changes we need to reclaim control of the thousands of ways our energy is depleted each day.

Protect Your Energy helps us compassionately learn to listen to the messages our bodies are sending us through our nervous system. With evidence-based practices drawn from Polyvagal Theory, as well as yogic philosophy and personal experience, Zabie shares practical wisdom to help us turn inward to effect small but vital changes that make living in our fast-paced culture more sustainable. Protect Your Energy offers:

• Reflections to help us understand both where we are and where we want to go
• Restorative and accessible practices to help us understand our energy drains and honor our capacity
• Support to set and hold supportive boundaries, unwind burnout, and much more.

Zabie shares, “You hold the wisdom, beauty, and power you need to find relief. And amid all of the noise, your connection to your body and nervous system is your most important teacher.”
