My favorite definition of meditation, as gleaned from Nisargadatta Maharaj's sayings, is that "Meditation is the art of shifting attention to subtler and subtler levels of consciousness WITHOUT LOSING A GRIP ON THE LEVELS LEFT BEHIND". One should thus be able to focus on any level of consciousness up to and including where one is at.

Well I do see the different levels on my staircase, I focus on the level my feet are on acknowledging the one's I've left behind.
