I'm convinced that meditation is necessarily for spiritual growth. Growing up christian I have always brushed off meditation. Being told that prayer is the way to go. I eventually lost faith, prayer seemed like a dead end to me. Agnosticism seemed like a cheap way out and Atheism seemed like another religion. Then one day on the internet I read about binaural beats and it started to change the way I thought about things a belief in the afterlife began again but I no longer needed proof I knew. I can't tell you how or why I just did.  I heard meditation is not for everyone and that could be true. But I would say try it if you can.
