All attunements are ultimately self-attunements. If you don't belief that you are attuned then nothing the Reiki master does can attune you.
A Reiki attunement is confirmation of a specific orientation with regards to us and the universe within a system called Reiki. This orientation can be achieved by anyone, at any time, with or without the help of a master, mentor, coach, etc.
I would even go so far to say that a Reiki master's training and attunement is detrimental to achieving that orientation because too many Reiki practitioners on all levels view Reiki as a system to heal other. In truth it is first and above everything else a system to heal oneself.
The best option is therefore to get that orientation first and only then go to Reiki training so that one can translate the teacher's instruction and explanation to the proper context.
