Question about meditating

[Dajeeem]

when i first installed the game my spellbook had a meditate button to push. then i installed the velious UI and now that button is not there.
i trained mediate at my trainer and its at level 5. but i havent seen it go up at all since then. do i need to change my UI to get that meditate button back? or is just having my spellbook open doing it and im just slow at leveling up?
