Rooting xperia V

Hello, Since SONY decided not to update Xperia v I am thinking of rooting my Device . Though there are lot of resources in the internet actually I'm kind of feel nervous thinking it may brick my phone.
Can any one help me showing the process and what to download ?
I am using Xperia V 4.3 jelly bean , Build number : 9.2.A.2.5
Thanks in advance.
