Morphology

blow + your + mind

The literal meanings of 'blow' (to forcefully move or strike) and 'mind' (mental faculties) combine to create a vivid metaphor of the mind being overwhelmed, so a learner could infer it relates to a strong mental effect. However, the exact idiomatic sense 'to astonish or profoundly impress' is a metaphorical extension and not fully predictable or cross-linguistically automatic for a B1 learner, making it only partially transparent.

Etymology

Blow your mind creates a strong picture: imagine a sudden wind or burst that seems to blow your mind, leaving you amazed. That's why it means 'to surprise and amaze someone'.
