Meditate places your character in a meditative state
during which mana can be rapidly regenerated. Once
you begin meditating you cannot engage in other
activities (or type other commands) or you will break
the meditative state. While meditating you will see your
mana regenerate every few seconds until you are at
your maximum. The use of incense while in trance or
meditation is known to improve results. Certain
classes and races will see differing amounts of mana
based on what "sector" you are in. For instance, Druids
must be in a natural type sector to gain any mana
during their meditation. Meditation regenerates mana
less rapidly than trancing.

Information

When you use the meditate skill, you start meditating and will regenerate about 25-30 mana every few seconds. You will stop meditating if you use almost any commands, enter a fight, follow someone into another room or reach your maximum mana.

Some experimental data:
The period between meditate is usually about 12 seconds (+/- 1 seconds).
However, the actual range may be as much as 9 to 15 seconds.
The first meditate may vary much more.
The exact value is hard to ascertain given connection speed varies and the program used to measure it (Cmud) is unreliable.
Nevertheless, suggests that the average regeneration rate is 125-150 mana/minute, depending on the mana gained per.

Incense like a stick of brown incense or orange scented incense can be held in your inventory so that you get more mana each time.
