Chaque fois que j’ai envie de sentir le frémissement de la vie, ce petit coup d’aiguillon joyeux, je prends du pollen. Je me sens plus vivante, plus animée et légère à la fois. Voilà pour l’impression générale.

feel life's buzz, that pleasant sting
pollen = bees; bees sting and buzz
This whole thing is a rather forced play on words.
I am not entirely happy with my suggestion but I think you could work on the "buzz" and "sting" notions

well, Richard, you may be reading more into it than my answer intended ;-)
after all, do you not feel a quiver of joy, a thrill, a rush, when your boat takes off into the water, when the wheels of the plane leave the tarmac, when youève just delivered a stellar translation?

: Could almost be construed as a sexual reference....//Good point, but I don't see the sex in the original, and I wonder whether it's right to impute sexual references to someone, even a naturopath.
