The brahmavihāra of equanimity is of course good medicine for a night like this, where lots of us are on tenterhooks hoping for good news. We got the good news. But in the meantime I talked about the practice of equanimity both as the 4th brahmavihāra—so how it functions in relation to the other 3—and as the 5th phrase in the Five Reflections. In both cases it's a wisdom teaching as well as a heart practice, and points toward the vast understanding at the heart of right view and liberation.
