Origins
Drawn from “śānti” (Sanskrit for peace, calm, tranquility-often invoked in spiritual practice) blended with a softened -ea ending to suggest ease, arrival, and finality. The name intentionally sounds complete, mirroring the illusion it represents: peace mistaken for permanence.
Meaning
Shantéa is the false calm that convinces us the work is finished simply because the noise has quieted. It arises when cravings lessen and we mistake relief for resolution, serenity for safety. In Shantéa, peace becomes misleading – not because it isn’t real, but because we treat it as proof that the problem itself has disappeared.
Usage
When the cravings eased, Shantéa crept in and told us we were cured – long before we were actually free.
