The idea is presented that each human being has an inherent life purpose operating as a basic guide. As we live true to this purpose, we experience harmony, joy, and empowerment. IT access and experience life purpose, we need to attend to our sensory systems (i.e., visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) as manifest in flow states. An individual's purpose is primarily expressed in what may be called a sensory motif, a unique way of combining and organizing his or her senses manifesting that person's unique character. Sensory motifs are highly visible in flow states. Use of sensory motifs as clinical interventions is illustrated in five clinical cases. It is concluded that to live with purpose and meaning in one's life involves discovering and gaining access to one's sensory motif.
