A c t i vati o n The activation process occurs when the body is working to create good health by ‘waking up’ various systems, cells and organs. Enzymes are activated and the body absorbs nutrients that make it feel more awake. Some people experience this phase with symptoms such as muscle twitches, pins and needles, random pains, or feeling jumpy or shaky. These are not signs of malfunction, however, but evidence of activation.
