My take on meditation and it's the traditional one. Treat any experience just like any other distraction (noise, thought, itch, whatever). For instance if you're doing a mindfulness technique (breath, sound, smell, bodily sensations, etc...) and you get distracted and whatever you are attending is no longer in evidence gently let the distraction go and return attention to the object of attending (breath, sound, smell, bodily sensation, etc...).
The point being it's not the experience that's important nor is it the object that's being attended but the attending itself. That's what brings about focus and clarity of mind, a single-pointed mind.
