Background All Haliians are naturally partially telepathic, and they often boost this ability through physical contact with large glowing crystals they call Canars.  Some rare Haliians may be psychically skilled enough to have passed beyond the need of Canars.
Editors Notes Haliia, and are one of the Federation's few naturally psychic races.   Culturally, they are a passionate, artistic, and graceful people inhabiting a world of great beauty.  However, most tend to be impulsive, and some can be very difficult for other humanoids to work with, but quite a few have joined Starfleet with great success. 

The Canar Crystals are most frequently used in meditation as a mental focus.  However, two Haliians (or one Haliian and another being, even if they are not psychic) who are each in physical contact with a Canar may enter full mental rapport.  This is most often, though not exclusively, used by two Haliians to create an emotional rapport preparatory to intimacy.
