SN 47.5 in the Satipatthanasamyutta states the five hindrances are the heap of the unwholesome and the four establishments of mindfulness are the heap of the wholesome.

The Satipatthana Sutta states:
"There is the case where a monk remains focused on mental qualities in & of themselves with reference to the five hindrances. And how does a monk remain focused on mental qualities in & of themselves with reference to the five hindrances? There is the case where, there being sensual desire present within, a monk discerns that 'There is sensual desire present within me.' Or, there being no sensual desire present within, he discerns that 'There is no sensual desire present within me.' He discerns how there is the arising of unarisen sensual desire. And he discerns how there is the abandoning of sensual desire once it has arisen. And he discerns how there is no future arising of sensual desire that has been abandoned. (The same formula is repeated for the remaining hindrances: ill will, sloth & drowsiness, restlessness & anxiety, and uncertainty.) These two suttas show the Satipatthana Sutta and the Satipatthanasamyutta are designed for developing "self-awareness".

In the Satipatthanasamyutta, there are many teachings for junior monks.

In the Satipatthanasamyutta, there are many metaphorical stories or parables such as the Sakunagghi Sutta, Makkata Sutta, The Beauty Queen, etc, taught to exhort looking inwards rather than looking outwards.

So, as I suggested, the Satipatthana Sutta is a beginners level sutta, designed for new meditators to develop "self-awareness".
