yes. that is how. but we can't master it. no errors no progress.

satipatthana, if practiced diligently results in adulthood. runaway emotions are childhood and teenager regardless of the chronological age of the person.

be careful of the M word. It's used, misunderstood and abused these days, including by people who project what they think people should need/want rather than actually practicing satipatthana.

don't "apply empathy", that is not the Way. empathy is automatic when satipatthana is practiced and understood.

"eyes see hands do action is the Way

intimately knowing its function is the Way

transactional action is not the Way

the Way is not two"
