Howdy!
I have this happen to me alot. The heaviness is caused by trance and is no big deal, ignore it. The shivering is another symptom of trance and can happen both physically and in your ethric body. I have been in my Florida room on a hot day meditating and I starting shivering physically, which was obviously not possible for the weather. On another occasion I opened my eyes when i felt myself shiver and noticed my physical body wasn't moving at all. Im guessing its an energetic sensation of some sort.
I have a nasty habit of this happening too. I will do a backwards count from about 100 to 0 and at about 50 i will catch my mind grabbing onto a pointless thought and begin to wander. When you snap back to reality you suddenly gain back a bit of conciousness you lost when your mind drifted, and thus the sequence of trance went ahead without you. You brought yourself back into the fray of trance and vibrations as they were happening and it came as a shock.
Q1. Vibrations are the last step until you seperate from your body, but they usually come about on their own. Don't worry if you can conciously cause them.
Q2.Im not sure if its generally ACCEPTED, but I do reccomend the water skiing technique. You visualise a boat that is in front of you and your hanging onto a handle bar attached to a rope to the boat. The boat starts moving and pulls you up and you basically use mental strength to hold on. Eventually, our astral body gets yanked out. I used this to induce trance and vibrations, so im sure I can project with it when i hit vibrations. I have yet to try though.
Your very close to projecting. Vibrations are the last step. Good luck Anduril

Almost immediately my body felt very heavy and light shivering started(it wasn't cold).

My mind started to wonder at some stage in the count down but I snaped into focus all of a sudden and I started to do the rope thing
