How do you know what the "needed skills" are?
-Is that the prerequisites for any given skill? Because those tend to drop too.
Yes, the needed skills are the prerequisites.
For example: "Use of the mind - First stage" has 2 needed skills:
light athletics
heavy athletics
If you don't master both of them (it means: if they are not at least at 100%), use of the mind - first stage will drop.
Obviously the same is for all the skills, it means that if you have light athletics at 100% but heavy athletics at 99%, your light athletics will drop because heavy athletics is needed.
Another reason, that I forgot to mention previously, is the alignment. Skills that are of a different alignment than yours drops. If you master the skill "Meditation" the alignment skill drop don't happens.

What is the "wiseness"?
The "wiseness" are a set of skills: there is one for each element, except humans. For example "Wiseness about Earth element" prevents your earth skills to drop when you have a non-earth teacher.

It seems Meditation is useful to keep them up, but I didn't have access to that skill with my first teacher (and you cannot change teachers until you get some xp making it very difficult for new players), and I think Concentration is useful too.
Meditation is an accessory skill, so every teach can teach it. The reason why you haven't seen it in the list is that your teacher can teach you only skills that you already know (and are behind 95% or something like this) or skills that have the skills that you know at 100% or better like prerequisites. I hope I was clear
