How do I regain entrance to the Soul Cairn?
So I started the quest "Beyond Dead" and talked to Valrice, then I went to kill one of the guys but died. I got mad and left the Soul Cairn, but later I decided I wanted my wolf powers back, so I talked to Aela and got back my powers.
Now I want to go back in but it won't let me. What should I do? I'm working for the Dawnguard not Harkon.

TL;DR:
- As a part of the Dawnguard questline, you have an option to be soultrapped by Serana, allowing you to enter for the first time. This is not available after you leave upon the quest completion
- To enter again, you must become a Vampire Lord. You may need to "Rank up" to a level 2 Vampire Lord before being able to re-enter, but you should be able to re-enter at will.
From the wiki
One cannot enter the Soul Cairn without being a vampire or being partially soul trapped. Being soul trapped causes the Weakened Soul ability to activate, which decreases Magicka, health, and stamina while in the Soul Cairn. This can be negated after completing Chasing Echoes and talking to Valerica, who will instruct the Dragonborn to find the Soul Essence Gem. Upon doing so, all stats will return to normal.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any clear indications that you can become soul trapped again to re-enter. Becoming a vampire again seemed to be the only option, as Serana will no longer give you the option to become soul trapped again.

Can you return to Soul Cairn Skyrim?
Just fast travel to Valerica's Study to access the soul cairn. You can return there with no worries, I sided with Dawnguard and I\xb4m a werewolf, too, and you get there by fast-traveling to Castle Volkihar Balcony (that is, if it\xb4s marked as "found").Where is my soul Soul Cairn?
Anywhere there's a barred gate, there will be a switch or switches. You cast a spell to the switches and the gate will open. The switches look like those things in the picture but have glowing lights. You cast a spell into the circle and the gate will open.How do I open the gate in the Soul Cairn?
As soon as you visit the Soul Cairn a map marker will be added that allows you to fast travel directly to the Soul Cairn from Skyrim. If Dawnguard Map Markers or Atlas Map Markers is installed, you will also get a map marker that allows you to fast travel directly to Skyrim from the Soul Cairn.How to reenter the Soul Cairn || Skyrim || PS4

Answer 2
Alright I figured it out, if you become a stage 2 vampire it will let you in.
Answer 3
All you need to do is be a vampire lord before you enter her study again. I became one inside her study after becoming mortal again and it wouldn't let me in. All you have to do is walk to the balcony door, exit the study, and re-enter and you can now traverse the soul cairn.
Answer 4
I became mortal again and the soul carin glitched very badly where i had to exit out of the game. But to re-enter you must become a vampire lord again BEFORE entering her study or it wont let you.
Answer 5
To enter you must be a vampire again. You have to be vampire lord level 2 and ask Serena about her studies. It will give you a clear shot of maybe getting Arvak the skeleton demon horse who has the same health as Shadowmere and does double damage. You will never lose him because he can be conjured anytime you need a companion demon purple fire skeleton horse.
