It seems the concept of a meta-emotion is relevant here. I think one could describe vipassana meditation as the cultivation of meta-feeling awareness and regulation skills.

ETA: Vipassana may also help develop or improve one's meta-thinking skills (but I'm not sure). I'm also not sure how (or if) we should distinguish feeling skills from thinking skills.
