Fotis “De Tao” Tampas: A Journey from Emotional Turbulence to Harmonious Balance Through I.M. Meditation.

Journey of Sound and Silence


Hello, I am Fotis Tampas, known as De Tao. As a certified meditation teacher, audio engineer, and music educator, my journey in life has been as harmonious as it has been discordant. For over a decade, I’ve taught students the art of music production, guitar, and the healing power of music, emphasizing the crucial role of emotions in music creation and performance.

The Harmony of Well-being


My odyssey began at fourteen when I started composing music. This was not just an artistic endeavor; it was a means to channel the immense negative energy stemming from societal pressures into something transformative. Music was my refuge, my method of coping with the world’s negativity. However, this was only the beginning of my journey toward true self-discovery and emotional balance.

Evolving with Music and Meditation


Growing up, I realized that merely releasing negative energy was insufficient. It was during this period of introspection that I encountered Tao. The practices of Tao, though initially challenging, eventually led to an enlightening realization: the profound connection between Tao and music. Both were languages of energy, of vibration. My background in audio engineering became the bridge that connected these two worlds, leading me to a critical revelation: the importance of converting negative energy into positive.

Integration of Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science


This led to the creation of I.M. Meditation, or “Internal Melody Meditation,” a technique blending the ancient philosophy of Tao with modern sound therapy. At its core, I.M. Meditation is your life’s soundtrack, created to harmonize your internal energy flows. This technique is structured into three stages, each represented by a distinct sound type found in nature: transients, periodic sounds, and noises. Each stage serves a specific purpose: activating energy, transforming your inner world, and clearing negative energy, respectively.

The Path to Inner Harmony


I.M. Meditation is not a quick fix but a journey. It’s about daily practice, about learning to solve life’s puzzles while embracing your emotional landscape. This technique is especially potent for those willing to invest time in their inner peace and engage deeply with their emotional selves. It’s a tool that can lead you to the deepest depths of your inner world, making the journey not just transformative but also entertaining and profound.


Through my extensive knowledge, gained from research, experimentation, and years of experience in audio engineering and holistic practices like Tao and Ayurveda, I’ve crafted this technique to be adaptable, practical, and deeply effective. Whether through hands-on exercises in the book or the accompanying online course with over six hours of video content, my aim is to offer you more than knowledge – I offer a path to emotional balance and a harmonious life.


In sharing my story and this technique, I hope to empower you to embark on your journey of transformation. I invite you to explore the depths of your emotional world through I.M. Meditation, and together, let’s create a world of emotional balance for ourselves and future generations.
