To widen our state of consciousness, we must first understand the meaning of consciousness. We must experience moments of it, of mindfulness or mindlessness. When we stop the mind from its rattling, from its constant thinking, and experience being the witness, being the observer, this is consciousness. First consciousness may appear for a moment, or a few moments, then you can widen your consciousness by spending more and more time being conscious, observing the mind, controlling the mind from wandering from thought to thought. Therefore while the term widen your state of consciousness may be misleading, one can increase their level of consciousness slowly and steadily by the realization of the Truth. By yearning for liberation and unification, one can be a yogi who lives in union with the Divine, in a state of consciousness of the truth which is full of bliss and peace.

Is meditation an altered state of consciousness?
Not really-although some practitioners talk that way. The best way to think of it is to understand that meditation stills the mind. Usually, our minds are scattered, jumping all about like a troop of monkeys in the forest canopy. When you practice meditation well, your mind becomes unified, focused. Therefore, it could be claimed that it's a different state of consciousness, but that is really misleading. It's similar to the state when an athlete or a musician, for example, is "in the zone." There is no self-consciousness or awareness of the passing of time.
